Présentation

I am a permanent researcher (CRCN) at the INRAE institute (France). I use metagenomic approaches to study the epidemiology, the ecology and evolution of viruses.Research objectives:(1) Description of the diversity of insect-infecting viruses;(2) Identification of biotic and abiotic factors governing the diversity and distribution of viruses in natural insect populations and in agricultural ecosystems;(3) Evaluation of the contributions of virus communities to pathobiome dynamics, and identification of viral agents of interest for biocontrol.

My PhD (2014-2017) research focused on the diversity and on the circulation of viruses in arthropod and plants that originated from agricultural ecosystems.During my postdoc at the University of Oxford (2018-2023), I investigated factors affecting the diversity and abundance of viruses associated with a wild waterbird population.

I am also a member of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Parvoviridae family study group.
