معرفی
Dr. Pascale Flury is a Research Associate at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Science, University of Basel, Switzerland. She has been working at the university since 2022, previously serving as a Senior Scientist at the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL (2019-2022) and as a Postdoctoral Researcher at ETH Zurich and University of Lausanne (2016-2018).
Her educational background includes a PhD in Phytopathology from ETH Zurich (2016). Her research focuses on plant-microbe interactions, particularly how plant-beneficial rhizobacteria can protect crops against pathogens and pests. Dr. Flury specializes in understanding the ecological mechanisms of interactions between rhizosphere bacteria (especially fluorescent Pseudomonas) with various hosts, plant-pathogenic microbes, and the environment.
- Research Focus: Her work bridges plant pathology, microbiology, and agricultural science, with particular emphasis on bacterial ecology in the rhizosphere and their applications in sustainable crop protection.
- Publication Trends: Her recent publications (2022-2013) demonstrate consistent research in plant-beneficial bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas strains, and their dual roles in plant protection and insect pathogenicity. Her work spans molecular mechanisms, ecological interactions, and practical applications in agriculture.
Dr. Flury's research has significant implications for developing sustainable agricultural practices that leverage beneficial microbes to reduce chemical pesticide use. Her interdisciplinary approach connects plant pathology, microbiology, and entomology to address fundamental questions about microbial ecology and practical crop protection strategies.
