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 →

My name is Qikun XING. I am currently a post-doctoral researcher in Incheon National University. I am interested in bioinformatics, ecology and genetic breeding. I did my PhD in Station Biologique de Roscoff. My PhD project is the regulation of oxylipin signaling pathways during defense responses in kelps. During my PhD, I analyzed transcriptomic regulation of kelps during the interaction with endophytes. I also studied the transcriptomic and metabolomic regulation in Saccharina latissima after GG elicitation to explore the regulation of oxylipin pathway during defense responses. My postdoc project is to increase the thermotolerance of Saccharina japonica using biostimulants or genetic breeding.Read More →

Having a Master’s degree in Functioning and Management of marine ecosystems from the Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale, I did a first internship in modeling at the Laboratoire d’Océanologie et de Géosciences de Wimereux under the direction of Pr. G. Beaugrand. I did my Master 2 internship in chemical ecology at the Oceanography laboratory of Villefranche under the direction of Pr. R Lemée and Pr. O. Thomas in order to study the competition relations between the toxic benthic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata and a competitive diatom Licmophora paradoxa by a metabolomic approach. I continued my studies with a thesis in marine chemical ecology financed byRead More →
