As an interdisciplinary researcher at the interface of organismal biology and ecology, I am interested in the interactions of the plasma membrane with pathogens or their toxins. I study their effects on cell structure and function. Using cellular imaging and biochemical approaches, I decipher biological mechanisms at all levels. Like a naturalist, I also analyse living organisms on a nanometre scale to describe their morphoanatomy. Identifying and interpreting a morphological feature requires knowledge of histology, cytology and immunohistochemistry. Faced with the impact of a host of environmental factors on human health, I have developed an ostracod (freshwater crustacean) model in which I have studied all the organ systems, with a view to carrying out pesticide exposure tests and establishing a histopathological diagnosis as part of the One Health concept.
CILCAV: Marine Virus Against Green Algae. A retrovirus present in the Bay of Marseille is capable of controlling the proliferation of Ulva lactuca. The project focuses on the molecular and morphological identification of the virus.
Phyt'Abeilles: Impact of pesticides on wild and domestic bees. Using molecular biology and immunohistochemistry approaches, we are studying the expression of various markers involved in oxidative stress.
