The processes of sulphide detoxification in chemoautotrophic invertebrates living in hydrothermal vents and colds seeps (7 publications as first author). I was then a post-doctoral fellow in the “Molecular Genetics lab” of David Dixon at Southampton Oceanography centre where I studied the susceptibility of the genetic material of deep-sea hydrothermal invertebrates to their toxic environment (3 publications as first authors and the participation to 2 mini-reviews). I was recruited as assistant professor at the University Paris 6 in 2003, and took the leadership of the “OM characterization” axis. Since then, I have gained competencies in biogeochemistry and developed a new line of research in the laboratory with the measurements of fatty acids by GC-MS. I am currently involved in 2 projects supported by the French national research agency .
