The Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity and Marine and Continental Ecology
IMBE's research is structured around 5 transversal thematic axis and 8 research teams
IMBE organizes its operational facilities around 5 technical departments
Training is, of course, the courses offered at the University (L, M, D) but also training through research (internships).
The dissemination of our scientific results is at the heart of our mission: it enables us to share and make research advances accessible to a wider audience. In addition to publications in specialist journals, the IMBE deploys a wide range of resources to popularise knowledge and make it understandable and attractive to a wide range of audiences. Through concrete actions and innovative tools, we are committed to bringing science closer to everyone, in order to establish an ongoing dialogue between science, research and the general public, especially young people.

My research activities aim to understand the dynamics of lake plankton communities and to study the taxonomic and functional modifications of microalgae in connection with current anthropogenic and climatic changes. I am interested in understanding how changes in microalgae community alter carbon transfer pathways in lake ecosystems. I also focus on glacial ecology, in particular on the spatial and temporal dynamics on primary producers and prokaryotes in glaciers and alpine lakes. My research mainly covers the areas of Ecology, Limnology, and Glaciology.
