Marine microbial ecologist, more precisely specialised in the characterisation of the microbiomes of marine invertebrates in an ecological context.

I was born and raised in France, including in the Overseas French Territories of Guadeloupe (Caribbean) and Reunion island (West Indian Ocean). 

Passionate about the environmental cause (especially threats on tropical marine ecosystems) and all things molecular, I graduated from a Bachelor of biochemistry from the University of Pau and Adour c...

My current research involves:

  • a Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation project: the testing and validation of a new microfluidic device (Symbio-chip) for the in-situ cultivation of sponge-associated microbes.
  • an AIMS/UNSW collaboration: the characterisation of the microbiome of the marine sponge Stylissa flabelliformis under future ocean conditions.

More broadly, I enjoy:

  • answering current questions in marine microbial ecology by conducting experimental & laboratory work (aquarium, research vessels & research stations) as well as data & statistical analysis (high-performance computing, R, etc…).
  • communicating scientific findings via publications & conference attendance.
  • supporting students by providing advice and mentoring throughout their internships or degree.
