With a dual background in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Microbial Ecology, most of my research has focused on plant-microorganism interactions, whether they are beneficial to plants or induce defence reactions.

Since joining the IMBE, I have mainly been studying the diversity of symbiotic microorganisms in the Marseilles milkvetch, a rare and protected species that is emblematic of the Calanques National Park. This work has been a key element in the ecological restoration of astragalus populations (LIFE Habitats Calanques project).
