I enjoyed a quite unconventional research career path. My research work allowed me to live in different countries. I experienced different working environments that were influenced both by the local culture and the international staff of the teams I joined.
I enjoyed a quite unconventional research career path. My research work allowed me to live in different countries. I experienced different working environments that were influenced both by the local culture and the international staff of the teams I joined.
In September 2022, I joined the “Mechanisms of plant virus transmission by vectors” (MOVE) team that is part of the VIROM (Virology Montpellier) Department of the Plant Health Institute of Montpellier (PHIM). [read more]
Functional genomics of plant - microorganisms symbiosis
Functional genomics of plant - microorganisms symbiosis
Since October 2016 I work in Montpellier at the “Laboratoire des Symbioses Tropicales et Méditerranéennes” (LSTM). In the beginning, I joined the team “Mécanisme d’Adaptation aux Contraintes de l’Environnement” (MASCE), developing genomics approaches to identify symbiotic traits involved in the adaptation of nodulating legume plants to environmental constraints. Since 2020 I am a member of the team “Cultures Associées, Interactions Rhizosphériques et Symbiotiques” (CAIRS). [read more]
Functional genomics of arthropods symbiosis
Functional genomics of arthropods symbiosis
In November 2007, I joined the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) to use my genomics expertise in research projects developed in the Department of Plant Health and Environnement (SPE). From November 2007 to September 2016, in the laboratory “Biologie Fonctionelle Insectes et Interactions” (BF2I) at the INSA de Lyon, I applied and developed genomics approaches to study the symbiosis between the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) and its symbiont bacteria (Buchnera aphidicola).

Human genetics and genomics
Human genetics and genomics
In 1995 I received a “laurea” MSc degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Genova (Italy). Since the beginning of my studies, I had found genetics fascinating, and I specialised in this field obtaining in 1998 the specialisation (PhD equivalent) in Applied Genetics at the University of Pavia (Italy). With the Human Genome Project underway, I developed a great interest in genomics, and I worked on a very early cancer genomics project during my first post-doctoral position (1998-2000) at the International Agency for Cancer Research (World Health Organization, Lyon, France). As the new microarrays technologies were developing faster in the USA, in 2000, I joined Prof. Krahe’s laboratory at the Ohio State University (Columbus, OH, USA) and a year later moved with him to the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Centre (Houston, TX, USA). In 2004, I moved back to Europe, joining the Genomics Laboratory at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics of the University of Oxford (Oxford, UK). Thanks to my early training in genetics and the following international post-doctoral experiences in genomics, I gained substantial experience in DNA and RNA analysis using both standard and novel technologies. In time, I have applied genomics approaches to different research fields and contributed to technology development and validation. During my stay in the USA, I was involved in the very beginning of the microarray technology used in cancer research. Later, as R&D researcher in Oxford (UK), I broadened my experience working on several projects using the latest genomics technologies applied to complex disease research. [read more]
