PERRINE CRUAUD

Following my PhD in environmental microbiology at the French marine institute IFREMER and my postdoctoral position in molecular biology and bioinformatics at the French agronomic institute INRAE, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Laval University in Quebec, Canada. In January 2023, I joined the Ampère lab in Lyon to study microorganisms in the air.

​

My research interests are mainly focused on microbial ecology (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryota) in aquatic ecosystems with a special emphasis for trophic interactions and  the role of microorganisms in the overall functioning of ecosystems. I am also interested in programming and developing bioinformatics tools and still curious to discover new bioinformatic alternatives.
