2020 – Anne Pajot
Anne Pajot is a PhD student at the GENALG laboratory, PHYTOX unit, at IFREMER in Nantes, and at the GEPEA laboratory of the University of Nantes, in Saint-Nazaire. Her thesis topic is based on the study of the influence of light and nutrients on the photosynthetic apparatus in a microalgae. More precisely, she studies the light collecting antenna, which contains pigments and proteins. One of the pigments, fucoxanthin, is of immense interest in the fields of nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. By studying its synthesis in microalgae and the associated genes, we can anticipate its natural production on a larger scale. Then, a second axis ofRead More →
