Louise’s research has focused on the analyses of lipid classes and specific lipid biomarkers in relation to marine tropic ecology, fisheries and aquaculture nutrition. During her postdoctoral research with the Cooperative Institute for Marine Resource Studies at the Hatfield Marine Sciences Center (HMSC, OSU) in Newport Oregon she developed a Marine Lipids Laboratory. She will maintain her research program at the HMSC and develop a growing research presence with colleagues in Corvallis. Louise received her PhD in Marine Ecology in 2011 from Memorial University’s Ocean Sciences Center located outside of St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada.
