Etou Sarah Désirée
As a first-year doctoral student, I am working on predicting the sensory quality of coffee using multi-omic models. Using multiple layers of genomic, phenomic, metabolomic, and sensory analysis data, I am developing models to predict the quality of coffee in the cup in order to develop premium quality coffees.

Carrette Camille
I am currently working on my PhD thesis on the development of GWAS tools on pangenome graphs.
Besseiche Margot
In my thesis, I am studying the spread of date palms in the West using genomics and archaeogenomics. My projects are also in collaboration with researchers from the BioArch laboratory at the MNHN, the Purugganan Lab at NYU, and the BioArCh laboratory at the University of York.
Kaczmarek Thomas
Laflaquière Lucas
As a CIFRE PhD student in collaboration with IRD, CIRAD, and Amatera Bioscience, I am developing CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing tools for coffee plants. My work focuses on developing an efficient method for protoplast regeneration and transfection, as well as on characterizing genes involved in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerols and caffeine.
Amara Ikram
I am conducting a research project on the identification and functional analysis of genes involved in the root architecture of coffee plants and their potential role in drought adaptation. My work combines genetic transformation via Agrobacterium rhizogenes, cloning and expression of candidate genes, and root phenotyping in greenhouses and under controlled conditions.
