معرفی
Adrien Gauthier is a teacher-researcher in phytopathology at UniLaSalle, affiliated with the AGHYLE research unit on its Rouen campus. His academic role combines teaching in the Agrobiosciences department with research focused on plant disease mechanisms, biocontrol strategies, and plant-microbe interactions.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology (2009) - University of Burgundy
- Master's in Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology (2005) - University of Burgundy
- Licence in Biology-Biochemistry (2003) - University of Burgundy, Dijon
Research interests include phytopathology, biochemistry of plant defense mechanisms, and molecular biology of plant responses to pathogens. He investigates biocontrol agents for crop protection, microbial interactions in agricultural soils, and plant stress responses. His work emphasizes sustainable solutions for managing oomycete infections (e.g., Phytophthora infestans, Aphanomyces euteiches) in crops like tomato and pea.
Collaborations include partnerships with institutions such as the University of Helsinki, Tokyo University of Science, and the John Innes Centre (UK). He serves as a reviewer for journals like Experimental Botany and Plant Science, and is an active member of the French Society of Phytopathology.
His research outputs span biocontrol product development, soil microbial dynamics, and plant signaling pathways. Key themes include optimizing biocontrol efficacy, understanding root exudate-pathogen interactions, and leveraging microbial diversity for agricultural resilience.
