Presentation
I'm a research director at INRAE in the BioForA joint research unit on forest genetics. I have been the director of this joint research unit since 2023. My research focuses on optimising the genetic improvement process for wood-producing forest species to make it more relevant to the environmental challenges that threaten the adaptation of new varieties, more efficient by taking into account the various constraints that affect performance, and by integrating the potential offered by genomic tools.
I use the tools of quantitative genetics, population dynamics modelling, statistics and genomics, and these tools have led me to explore several key aspects of selection, such as optimising the management of genetic diversity, incorporating plasticity traits into genetic evaluation and adapting genomic and multi-omic selection to the forest tree model.
I think I can say that I have made a substantial contribution to the application of genomic selection to key species such as poplar and maritime pine in France, and to other forest species in the context of several European innovative breeding initiatives. Before joining INRAE as a scientist, I worked on various theoretical aspects of genetic diversity management, starting as a geneticist on an almost mythical model such as Drosophila. I feel very fortunate to be able to work with trees, which are stimulating models for experimental biologists and key species in the global environmental challenge.
Je suis directeur de recherche à l'INRAE dans l'unité mixte de recherche BioForA sur la génétique forestière. Depuis 2023, je suis directeur de cette UMR. Mes recherches portent sur l'optimisation du processus d'amélioration génétique des essences forestières productrices de bois d'œuvre pour le rendre plus pertinent face aux défis environnementaux qui menacent l'adaptation des nouvelles variétés, plus efficace en prenant en compte les différentes contraintes qui affectent les performances, et en intégrant les potentialités offertes par les outils de la génomique.
J'utilise les outils de la génétique quantitative, de la modélisation de la dynamique des populations, des statistiques et de la génomique, et ces outils m'ont amené à explorer plusieurs aspects clés de la sélection, tels que l'optimisation de la gestion de la diversité génétique, l'incorporation des traits de plasticité dans l'évaluation génétique et l'adaptation de la sélection génomique et multi-omique au modèle de l'arbre forestier.
Je pense pouvoir dire que j'ai contribué de manière substantielle à l'application de la sélection génomique dans des espèces clés telles que le peuplier et le pin maritime en France, et dans d'autres espèces forestières dans le cadre de plusieurs initiatives européennes sur la sélection innovante. Avant de rejoindre l'INRAE en tant que scientifique, j'ai travaillé sur divers aspects théoriques de la gestion de la diversité génétique, en commençant comme généticien sur un modèle presque mythique comme la drosophile. Je considère que j'ai beaucoup de chance de pouvoir travailler avec les arbres, qui sont des modèles stimulants pour les biologistes expérimentaux et des espèces clés dans le défi environnemental global.
