Pierre is interested in the molecular mechanisms allowing Plants to modulate their metabolism changing conditions. One of the major integrators of these environmental cues is the SnRK1 complex that allows maintenance of energy homeostasis. He studied its complex post-translational regulations that allow specific signal transduction during both his Ph.D. at Université Paris-Sud and his postdoc at Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (Portugal).
Since 2016, he shifted towards Synthetic Biology of carbon fixation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii aiming at making this alga a better chassis,...Read more
