Postdoctoral Researcher
Université Laval, Quebec, Canada
After obtaining a bachelor's degree in ecology from Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse, I completed a master's degree in systems biology, microbiology and bioinformatics in order to deepen my knowledge of the genome of organisms. This allowed me to carry out several internships at INRA (National Institute for Research in Agronomy), mainly on the study of plant-microorganism interactions, for example, by studying the genetic bases allowing Ralstonia solanacearum to expand its host range or evolve into a plant symbiont. I then did a doctorate in plant biology at Laval University in Quebec where I studied the Soja-Phytophthora sojae pathosystem using the latest molecular biology and bioinformatics tools (Oxford Nanopore sequencing, WGS, GBS, RNA-Seq, QTL analysis, GWAS). The strength of these tools in the study of plant biology and microbiology convinced me to continue in this direction by carrying out a postdoctoral internship aimed at the development and implementation of the NanoGBS+ platform. This project uses the technology of transfer by acoustic ejection of nanoscopic droplets (Echo®) to significantly reduce the use of plastic and the volume of reagents used during the preparation of sequencing libraries, and thus drastically reduce the costs associated with genotyping. This type of approach is becoming increasingly essential in large-scale studies involving frequent sequencing of large populations (selection program, genomic selection, association study, etc.).
