Advancing the field of knowledge
The objective of our institute is to advance many fields of knowledge and to develop biotechnological concepts. To achieve this, 9 scientific teams study the response and adaptation mechanisms of its preferred biological models, which are bacteria, microalgae and plants, to the constraints of their environment.
Teams and research themes
To withstand unfavourable environmental conditions, plants have developed tolerance strategies based on numerous biochemical and molecular mechanisms. For many years, the PPV team has been interested in in certain protein players that help plants adapt to fluctuations in their physical and biological environment.
