Recent events-Latest publication: Vigor C., Reversat G., Rocher A., Oger C., Galano J.-M., Vercauteren J., Durand T., Tonon T., Leblanc C., Potin P. (2018) Quantitative profiling of marine red and brown macroalgae. Food Chemistry 268, 452-462. Past and present research topicsI obtained my PhD in 2000 at the University of Bordeaux II, working on physiological, enzymatic and genetic aspects of arginine catabolism in the wine lactic acid bacteria ?nococcus ?ni under the supervision of Prof. Aline-Lonvaud-Funel. Then, I went for a brief post-doctoral position at the Faculty of Science of Nijmegen (The Netherlands), where I worked on the urea catabolism in the edible mushroom Agaricus bisporus. After three months, I moved for a second post-doctoral position to the laboratory of Prof. Ian A. Graham, in CNAP, within the Department of Biology, University of York. I worked there for four years on a project dealing with functional genomics in marine microalgae to discover genes that could be used to produce docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in oilseed rape. In September 2004 I secured a lectureship position at Sorbonne Universit?s (UPMC, Univ. Paris 06, France), and undertook my research in the laboratory led by Dr. Catherine Boyen at the Station Biologique in Roscoff, working on brown algae, and more specifically with the biological model Ectocarpus. I considered targeted and global approaches to study metabolism and acclimation/adaptation to abiotic environmental changes featured by these organisms and their associated bacteria. In 2015, I was granted a leave of absence and came back to CNAP, where I am currently a research fellow working on mannitol metabolism in marine microalgae in collaboration with Prof. Simon McQueen-Mason. This project is funded by The Leverhulme Trust. I am also interested in developing biotechnological applications based on algae and/or algal genes.
