Biography and Research interests

I have always been passionate about the biology of plant development, particularly the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying its plasticity and adaptation. My first research work took place during my PhD that I did at CEA of Cadarache, France. The aim of this completely new project was to study the radio sensitivity of plants, and more specifically to understand the molecular mechanisms of response to gamma radiation. I then did a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Cambridge, UK, in James A. H. Murray’s lab, to better understand the function of genes involved in the control of meristem identity and cell proliferation in collaboration with the groups of Dr John Doonan of the John Innes Center, UK and Patrick Laufs, IJPB, INRA Versailles. Then I moved to the Genopole center in the UMRGV, INRA lab of Evry to strengthen my skills in bioinformatics and epigenetics.

In 2004, I was recruited as an assistant professor (MCF) in the team of Professor Martin Kreis (Université Paris-Sud, France) to develop a topic on the characterization of structural and functional determinants of genes of the WOX family (WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX).

I joined the GQE-Le Moulon lab in 2015 to be part of a new team (GE2MorF) that aims to understand the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of the evolution of floral morphogenesis in Nigella damascena, a basal eudicot. Since March 2022, I have led the group to focus on the evolution of the Petal Gene Regulatory Network in Ranunculaceae. We also investigate the gender Nigella, a well-adapted plant for heat and water stress, as an attractive plant for pollinators to improve crop production in the context of global warming.
