Géraldine Brunoud

Géraldine Brunoud is a Researcher at the Plant Reproduction and Development (RDP) laboratory, affiliated with the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and École Normale Supérieure de Lyon. She supports research in plant biology, specializing in floral morphogenesis, meristem development, and hormonal signaling. Her career includes roles across multiple RDP teams, collaborating with researchers like Mohammed Bendahmane and Teva Vernoux. She holds a Master's in Biology from the University of Saint-Etienne, with a thesis on plant biodiversity. Beyond academia, she is an avid naturalist, creating botanical trails and maintaining a plant herbarium. Personal highlights include her Crystal Prize and anticipation of her second child.

• Education:
• Master's in Biology, University of Saint-Etienne (2001)
• Key Roles:
• Internships at INRA Antibes/Sophia Antipolis (chili/oomycetes research)
• Temp contracts across RDP teams before CNRS hire in 2006

Her research focuses on plant developmental dynamics, including static yet evolving plant structures. She mentors students like Lauriane (Master's) and Anaïs (PhD), emphasizing careful experimental techniques to avoid plant stress. Current projects under Teva Vernoux explore hormonal signaling mechanisms. Collaborations span morphogenesis (with Bendahmane), corn genetics (MAZE project), and arabidopsis studies.

Awards: Crystal Prize (year unspecified).

Advising/Grants: Mentors advisees on plant physiology and microscopy techniques. No grant details explicitly mentioned.

Engaged in RDP lab activities and community projects like botanical trails. Enjoys mountain hiking and horse riding, blending professional and personal passions for nature.
