My major interest is to understand the causes and consequences of
bacterial adaptation to new and potentially stressful environments.
For my PhD dissertation I am investigating the genetic causes and
phenotypic consequences of adaptation of Escherichia coli to high
temperature using 114 replicate populations evolved 2000 generations
at 42°C. I am currently doing nine months of research at Inserm U722,
supported by the Chateaubriand fellowship, to investigate the mechanisms
underlying E.coli thermal adaptation.
