Nicolas Pade

Nicolas Pade holds a PhD in molecular and spatial ecology from the University of Aberdeen (2009). His research focuses on using molecular tools and satellite tracking to determine population genetic structures across ocean basins and local movement patterns. After his postdoctoral work, Nicolas moved into research management, European project management, and partnership development. In 2019, Nicholas became the executive director of EMBRC-ERIC. In this role, he has been promoting the importance of biology in research and marine observation. In 2021, Nicolas launched the first coordinated genomics based observatory in Europe, the European Marine Omics Biodiversity Observatory Network (EMO BON), across 20 sites, implementing shared protocols, best practices, and detailed metadata standards. For TRICUSO, he will focus on the launch of Bio-GO-SHIP.
