My research focuses on lipid biosynthesis in tropical and Mediterranean plants, particularly triacylglycerols in seeds and fruits, lipid vitamins (tocochromanols, carotenoids), leaf cuticular waxes, and bioactive terpenoids. The approaches used include transcriptomic analyses coupled with chemical analysis of molecules with our analytical chemistry platform (web link).

My research aims to understand the mechanisms of sex determination in palms and their evolution. To address these questions, I use comparative genomic and epigenomic approaches, studying hermaphroditic, monoecious, and dioecious species. Given the major economic importance of palms in countries of the Global South, this work addresses practical challenges such as controlling sex ratios […]

My research focuses on the molecular physiology mechanisms of drought tolerance in coffee, in wild genetic diversity and commercial varieties. It is linked to breeding programs to develop climate-resilient varieties in order to sustainably improve production and quality. Based in Uganda, I conduct field studies and collaborate in East Africa and Southeast Asia, while performing […]

I use molecular approaches to study the reproductive biology, adaptation, and evolutionary history of tropical trees used by humans in order to develop strategies for biodiversity management and conservation.

I provide legal advice and monitoring for the UMR (genetic resources regulations). I review files related to the exchange of genetic material and the conditions for its use with partners (APA). I also review research contracts.
