Two IJPB PhD students selected for best oral and poster award at the 2025 BAP Division’s Young Researchers Days (JJC)

These days, dedicated to PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from the “Biology and Plant Breeding” (BAP) division, provided an opportunity to better understand the division's scope and research themes. Participants presented their scientific progress, engaged in thematic discussions, and discovered the division’s research infrastructures. The event also aimed to support PhD students throughtout their studies and introduce them to the research conducted in other BAP units, potential career options post-PhD.

Additional objectives included promoting awareness of national research networks, encouraging discussions on emerging scientific themes, fostering interdisciplinary (and intercultural) approaches, and building connections with the private sector through meetings with industry representatives.

The event took place over three days (four half-day sessions), from May 14 to 16, 2025. A total of 18 members from IJPB participated. Four IJPB PhD students gave oral presentations, while others contributed to the poster sessions.

> Marion Peuch, PhD student in the "Meiotsis Mechanisms" MeioMe team, received the award for Best oral presentation, selected from over 20 student talks on the subject "Understanding the role of the synaptonemal complex plant meiosis".

> Rith Théa Hak, PhD student in the "Spatial Control of Cell Division" SPACE team, was awarded Best poster, alongside two other students, on the subject: "Understanding the role of the synaptonemal complex plant meiosis". A few months earlier, he had also received a prize from the Plant Sciences Thematic Program of the Biosphera Graduate School for his Master’s thesis abstract (news IJPB 22/11/24).

This event was organized by early-career researchers from the INRAE Nouvelle-Aquitaine Bordeaux Center, specifically from the Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin (ISVV) in Villenave-d'Ornon.

In connection with the research developed at the Institute Jean-Pierre Bourgin for Plant Sciences.
