Sandie Escotte-Binet

Sandie Escotte-Binet is a Senior Research Engineer at the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, affiliated with the UR 7510 ESCAPE research unit since 2006. Her work focuses on host-pathogen interactions, parasitic risks in food and environmental systems, and molecular biology techniques.

• PhD in Biological Engineering (2001, INSERM Reims)
• Postdoctoral fellowship in host-pathogen interactions
• Specializes in cell/parasite cultures, flow cytometry, and Nanopore sequencing

Current projects include:

• ANR STRIP (2018-2021): T. gondii oocyst wall analysis
• ANR Breaking the wall (2022-2025): Co-responsible for Task 2
• UMT Protorisk 2: Food/environmental parasitic risk assessment
• Natural anti-toxoplasmic molecule screening from national chemical library

Her research spans molecular biology, environmental monitoring, and parasitology, with recent publications analyzing protozoan contamination in various matrices and exploring natural antiparasitic compounds. She also maintains technological equipment oversight and serves as a prevention assistant.
