The Roscoff Biological Station has set its focus on basic biology and marine biodiversity and eco-systems. Research in these fields draws on the latest methods in molecular and cell biology, in particular genomics and its derivatives, and interfaces them with environmental sciences, chemistry and mathematics. The goals of this research are a better comprehension of the evolution of life, as well as ecosystem functioning and the adaptation of marine organisms in response to global change.

The biological station at Roscoff in Brittany (northwestern France), which was founded 150 years ago, on 20th August 1872, still serves as a reference for the study of marine life. This is evidenced by a major discovery that made the headlines of the journal Science in late July 2022: scientists have shown that a small crustacean can help algae to reproduce, in the same way as bees pollinate flowers. Let's head to Brittany to take a look behind the scenes of this fascinating research work.
