Biography:

2003-phD: Paris, France

2003-2006: post doc with Enrico COEN, JIC, Norwich UK

2006-2008: post doc with Clare GOUGH, LIPM, France

2008-present: permanent position as a researcher at CNRS, LIPM, Toulouse, France

Research Areas:

  • How symbiotic signals cross talk with hormonal pathways to control root development and the establishment of symbiosis

Current N-related Projects: 

  • Towards understanding the molecular mechanisms whereby LCOs and auxin cross talk to regulate root development and early steps of nodulation
