Hi, I am Corentin and this is my research website!
My research aims to understand how plants can better adapt to changes in water availability and rising temperatures throughout their growth cycle. To do this, my PhD research explored how water and heat stress influence root system architecture and shape interactions with soil microbial communities, aiming to uncover traits and mechanisms that improve plant resilience. Given the complexity of plant–microorganism relationships, this work required innovative and integrative strategies. I applied plant phenotyping techniques alongside advanced data analysis tools, including deep learning and multi-omics approaches such as high-throughput sequencing, metabolomics, and ionomics. By merging computational methods with cutting-edge biological knowledge, I aim to push the boundaries of plant research and contribute to the creation of resilient agricultural systems.
I believe in Open Science and the importance of science communication.
I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in Switzerland at the University of Neuchâte, in the Laboratory of Plant Molecular and Cell Biology led by Prof. Joop Vermeer. My research focuses on root system architecture and its adaptive mechanisms under stress, particularly lateral root formation in Brachypodium distachyon, combining molecular approaches, multiphoton microscopy, snRNA-seq, and genetic variability analyses.
