During last year at INAP-G, followed a DEA ('Diplôme d'Etudes Approfondies'), equivalent of an MSc degree, specialized in 'Genetics and Plant Breeding'. 2000-2004 worked at CIRAD obtaining the PhD degree at the 'Ecole Nationale Supérieure Agronomique de Montpellier' (ENSAM) in 2004. Worked on the study of diversity and breeding of taros (Colocasia esculenta) from Vanuatu. 2005 awarded a competitive fellowship ('Juan de la Cierva') from Spanish Ministry of Education and Research to conduct post-doctoral fellowship at ETSIA Madrid, working on Plant Virology. Before finishing post-doc, hired by INRA-Bordeaux in 2007, as permanent researcher, with main responsibility of leading the sweet cherry breeding programme at INRA. The focus of his team A3C ('Adaptation du Cerisier au Changement Climatique') is to study the adaptation of sweet cherry to climate changes, with a special emphasis on phenology-related traits as well as fruit quality, and in particular, tolerance to rain-induced cracking. Scientific interests include the study of genetic and molecular determinisms of traits of major agronomic importance for sweet cherry. Main applied objective is to implement marker-assisted strategies to optimize the current breeding programme. Since 2012, Chair of COST Action FA1104 'Sustainable production of high-quality cherries for the European market'.vizualizați mai puține
