Barbara L Langille

Summary

I am currently an Associate Research Scientist at the Huntsman Marine Science Centre, working in the Atlantic salmon breeding and genetics division. I am tackling various research projects that involve genomically characterizing qualitative and quantitative traits. I recently finished a postdoc position at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, working on various population structure and evolutionary genetics projects. Specifically, I was focusing on mito-nuclear interactions in trans-Atlantic fish, environmental associations and population structure in cleaner fish, and structural variants.

Dr. Barbara Langille obtained a PhD from the University of Adelaide, where she investigated the regression of vision/eye genes in subterranean diving beetles, evaluated modes of speciation, and determined behavioral responses of eyeless beetles to light. Dr. Langille also obtained a MSc from Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, where she investigated the refugial origins and hybridization of freshwater fish.
