PhD candidate studying the physiology of snow algae under stress conditions.
Bachelor's degree in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry - University of Burgundy (Dijon - France)
Master's degree in Health/Biology : Integrative Biology of Plant/Microbe/Environment Interactions - University of Burgundy / AgroSup Dijon (Dijon - France)
Master's thesis : Induction of pea transformants overexpressinf WEE1 cell cycle checkpoint kinase for abiotic stress tolerance (INRAE - Dijon)
The aim of the research is to understand how these extremophiles cope and proliferate under harsh conditions, including, high light, cold, dessication, etc.
