Hello,
I am a researcher at INRAE (ex INRA :-) since 1983.
Agricultural engineer and biochemist by training, I am an insect physiologist (INA-PG PhD thesis, currently AgroParisTech, in 1984) having worked at INSA Lyon since that date, with a few forays elsewhere: INRA Guadeloupe in 1985-1986 , U. Valencia in 2007.
I worked in 4 main areas of interaction biology, related to Plant Health, my scientific Department at INRAE.
- Plant-insect interactions and the mechanisms of resistance of plants to insects
- The biology of the bacterial trophic symbiosis in insects, mainly on the Aphid / Buchnera model
- The biology of anti-insect toxins, mainly of plant origin
- The biology of the bacterial transmission by Hemiptera and aphids
Currently working in a CNRS Microbiology unit (MAP, UMR5240)
I will fill-in this page more completely another day :-)
