About
Science connecting genomes, populations and decisions.
Ian Bradbury is a research scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada whose work applies evolutionary and conservation genomics to marine and anadromous species across the Northwest Atlantic and Canadian Arctic.
Research & leadership
The lab combines population and seascape genomics, whole-genome sequencing, pangenomics, environmental DNA, telemetry and ecological modelling to understand connectivity, adaptation and vulnerability to environmental change.
Bradbury chairs the ICES Working Group on the Application of Genetics in Fisheries and Aquaculture (WGAGFA) and contributes to Canadian science-advisory and species-assessment processes. He also co-leads large collaborative genomics programs linking fundamental genomic discovery with conservation and resource-management needs.
Research to application
Population & evolutionary genomics
Resolve connectivity, adaptive variation, demographic history and genomic responses to environmental change.
Tools for monitoring
Develop genomic baselines, targeted assays and field-deployable approaches that connect genomic discovery to monitoring.
Conservation & fisheries
Bring genomic evidence into species assessment, stock structure, aquaculture-risk and conservation-science processes.
