Tranchant-Dubreuil Christine

I study the structure and evolution of (pan)genomes under the influence of evolutionary forces and anthropisation, particularly in rice, to understand the impact of domestication on wild and cultivated genomes. I coordinate and lead bioinformatics training courses in the North and South (plateau i-Trop, South Green, ISI network). I am also involved in the Montpellier […]

Delaigue Théo

My activities focus on producing plant genetic data through DNA extraction, library construction, and capturing candidate genes for NGS sequencing. I am responsible for managing the laboratory and ensuring its smooth operation: ordering consumables and products, managing inventory, planning the team’s laboratory activities, managing the budget for associated material needs, training new users, and providing […]

Delahaie Boris

I am a geneticist specializing in population and quantitative genetics, with a focus on coffee varietal improvement for sustainable agricultural systems. I combine field studies, partnerships in key production areas, and the use of omic data to study diversity and improve breeding strategies. As a passionate naturalist, I am also interested in biodiversity, its conservation, […]

Cubry Philippe

I am a population geneticist working on the history of crop domestication, including tropical cereals and Mediterranean crops. Using knowledge gained from population genomics and the study of past populations, I am developing approaches to predict the evolutionary response of traditional crops to climate change. I am also interested in studying evolutionary history in relation […]

Couvreur Thomas

As a botanist, I study the evolution, resilience, and diversity of biodiversity in tropical rainforests. I conduct research in taxonomy, conservation, and molecular phylogenetics, using DNA sequence data, morphology, and modeling at different time intervals. I also conduct research on species of economic importance (socio-economic and documentary studies). I specialize in palm trees and Annonaceae.

Couderc Marie

Combes Marie-Christine

I study the expression and regulation of plant genes for functional traits of agronomic and ecological interest. More specifically, I am comparing the mechanisms regulating gene expression between wild and cultivated species of African rice during inflorescence development to reveal the molecular basis of phenotypic differences.

Collin Myriam

I am an assistant engineer in charge of histology activities within the joint research unit, covering the entire workflow from sample fixation to image processing. I work in collaboration with several partners (CNRS, Océanopolis Brest, Aquarium Mare Nostrum Montpellier, among others). I divide my time between the GENOPS and CERES teams, where I play an […]

Leblanc Olivier

I’m a plant scientist with a long-standing interest in apomixis, a natural asexual reproductive behavior that produces seeds bearing maternal clones. My research focuses on its establishment and evolution using Paspalum species and Arabidopsis as model systems, and encompasses functional (epi)genomics, developmental genetics, and fluorescent imaging methods.
