Skills: Electron Microscopy, Isotopic imaging (NanoSIMS), Metabolomic and Fluxomic analysis, Field sampling.
Responsible for the application of molecular biology tools on symbiosis, and the development of experimental approaches applied to our marine / freshwater symbiotic models, management of cultures of marine and freshwater microalgae, field sampling.
Marine biologist and Microscopist. · My research focus on disentangling the functioning of plankton photosymbiosis, especially the metabolic crosstalk between the symbionts and host cells.
Skills: Electron Microscopy, Isotopic imaging (NanoSIMS), Metabolomic and Fluxomic analysis, Field sampling.
Academic background: PhD at EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) in LGB lab (carbon and nitrogen assimilation pathways in foraminiferal cells). Postdoc at Angers University in LPG lab (nitrogen uptake in kleptoplastic foraminifera). Postdoc in Aveiro University (C and N uptake in kleptoplastic sea slugs).
PhD subject: Multiscale study of the host control on its symbiotic microalgae - cell physiology and 3D electron microscopy.
