I am interested in marine planktonic microbes (abundance and activity), and their relashionships with the ecosystem and the biogeochemistry. I therefore study the factors that influence their abundance and distribution along the water column. My originality is to use single cell analysis to study them, both in situ and in the laboratory thanks to flow cytometry.As flow cytometry is a complex and expensive thechnology, I managed to create with a colleague PRECYM, a core facility dedicated to microbiology. PRECYM was created in 2005 with the support of a consortium of 6 Laboratories belonging to the Université de la Méditerranée, the CNRS, and the IRD in order to respond to a strong need for flow cytometry analyses by various teams working in the field of microbiology.PRECYM centralises various equipments and know-how, and makes them available to the other laboratories. Our goal is to give researchers the opportunity to consider new approaches in their research, with the guarantee of having the best technical, economical, and scientific exploitations. In this way, external researchers do not have to invest time and money in very complex and expensive technology.The range of flow cytometry applications in microbiology is very wide and therefore PRECYM works with microbiologists from various fields (aquatic sciences with marine and fresh water applications, biotechnology, etc...). PRECYM also contributes to technologiccal developments.

Listed skills include Microbiologie, Laboratoire, Cellule, Biotechnologie, and 16 others.
