Graine - Développement, Régulation et Métabolisme

I am a plant biologist interested in the study of specialized metabolite landscape and in the characterization of their role in plant adaptation to unfavourable environments
Specialized Metabolites Metabolomics Multi-Omic Data Integration Seeds Metabolite plasticity
My research at IJPB aims at the characterization of plant and seeds specialized metabolites diversity, spatial distribution, plasticity, and their role in plant adaptation to biotic and abiotic environments.
I am following and developed multidisciplinary approaches that involves multi-omic (e.g., metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and phosphoproteomics, ionomics), genetic and molecular biology techniques that I am using to identify and characterize new SM-related pathways and their role in plants and seeds.
I am part of the SEED-DREAM team at IJPB, where I am leading the work on seed specialized metabolites diversity and plasticity (“Specialize Metabolites” group).
I am the correspondent for “Seed and Plant Specialized Metabolites” subjects at the IJPB metabolomic platform.
