Among the greatest challenges facing biologists today are the conservation and effective management of biodiversity in the face of climate change and environmental degradation. How do species respond or adapt to environmental changes? As Canada Research Chair in Evolutionary Mitochondrial Biology, Dr. Breton and her team will address this global challenge with an innovative approach that integrates cutting-edge technologies in omics, physiology and cell biology to better understand the importance of mitochondria in promoting adaptation to environmental changes. By unravelling the links between environment and mitochondrial (epi)genotype-phenotype, this research will shed new light on our understanding of the living world.

当今生物学家面临的最大挑战是在气候变化和环境退化的情况下保护和有效管理生物多样性。物种如何应对或适应环境变化？作为加拿大进化线粒体生物学研究主席，布雷顿博士和她的团队将采用创新方法应对这一全球挑战，该方法整合了组学、生理学和细胞生物学的尖端技术，以更好地了解线粒体在促进适应环境变化方面的重要性。通过揭示环境与线粒体（表观）基因型-表型之间的联系，这项研究将为我们对生命世界的理解提供新的线索。
