Functions - Research Theme
Technician in charge of the molecular biology experiments within the research team Diversity Adaptation Determinants Innovation (DADI), my missions are integrated in  three axes of research on the programs involving Prunus:
1) disease resistance;
2) quality of the fruits;
3) improvement of peach and apricot and their rootstocks.
