Teaching
Jérôme Delroisse’s teaching activities are primarily focused on molecular phylogeny and bioinformatics, with contributions at the master’s level to the courses “Molecular Phylogeny of Organisms” (S-BIOG-026) and “Introduction to Bioinformatics” (S-BIOG-143), combining theoretical instruction with practical sessions.
In parallel, his teaching also covers ecology and evolution, notably through the course “Biodiversity and Ecology” (S-BIOG-929), which integrates lectures and field excursions, as well as through the co-supervision of “Inter-block Projects” (S-BIOG-952-5), promoting project-based learning and the development of integrated scientific skills.
These activities are complemented by specialized contributions to several master’s modules, including “Introduction to Electron Microscopy” (S-BIOG-031) and marine invertebrate biology, with targeted teaching on bioluminescence (S-BIOG-100) and photoreception (S-BIOG-052).
Research
Jérôme Delroisse’s research focuses on the evolutionary and functional biology of marine invertebrates, with particular emphasis on sensory systems and bioluminescence. His work aims to understand how these organisms perceive their environment and how these abilities have evolved through integrative molecular, cellular, and ecological approaches.
Within this framework, his FNRS Research Associate project investigates the evolution and diversity of sensory receptors in marine invertebrates, particularly sea stars, by testing the relationship between receptor repertoires and ecological adaptations using genomics, transcriptomics, and functional analyses.
In parallel, he develops research on marine bioluminescence, aiming to characterize light-emitting systems and their evolution. His activities also extend to related areas, including marine invertebrate aquaculture, immune system studies, and the evolution of adhesive proteins.
