Genetics Leader IMP 3

Biography

Professor Melody Clark is an Individual Merit Promotion Scientist (IMP) and Project Leader at BAS. She has a genetics degree and PhD from London University. After a string of short-term post doc contracts working on areas ranging from plant chromosomes to the high-profile Japanese pufferfish genome project, she finally landed a job as Project Leader at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in August 2003. She currently leads the Adaptations group, which studies two main areas: how animals adapt to the extreme cold and how they may react in the face of predicted climate change, also how molluscs produce their shells (essential protection if there’s a large iceberg in the area for the Antarctic species, not really a problem for the temperate species we study). Grant income is currently running at over £7M in the past 10 years, with the most recent significant grant being PI and Co-ordinator of the EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network FP7-PEOPLE-2013-ITN Project no: 605051: CACHE: CAlcium in a CHanging Environment, from November 2013 with a budget of circa €3.7M. In 2007 She was awarded the Senior Prize for Outstanding Women in Marine Biological Sciences Prize, awarded by the EU-FP6 Network of Excellence, Marine Genomics Europe. She was also awarded the Polar Medal (Arctic and Antarctic) in 2022, for her scientific contribution to the Polar Sciences.

She pledged to be flight-free (https://flightfree.co.uk/) for 2023 to reduce her carbon emissions. In 2024 she has pledged to be flight-free with the exception of a trip to Rothera Research Station (work-related and unavoidable)

Research interests

My research interests centre around the development of cross-disciplinary studies into the Environmental Genomics of Antarctic organisms. In particular, I am investigating how marine animals have adapted to life in the cold. I also use molecular analyses to understand marine organisms’ capacity to cope in stressful environments over timescales from days to years. Personal research includes a long-term interest on Antarctic species’ limited heat-shock (stress) response.
