Thierry NADALIG

Thierry NADALIG is a Lecturer at the University of Strasbourg, affiliated with the Molecular Genetics, Genomics, Microbiology department within the Institute of Physiology and Biological Chemistry (IPCB). His research focuses on microbial degradation of hydrocarbons, environmental biogeochemistry, and microbial ecology, particularly in marine and terrestrial environments. He holds a Doctorate in Oceanography (1998, University of Bordeaux 1) and has conducted extensive postdoctoral research at institutions including the Max-Planck Institute and IFREMER.

• Education:
• Doctorate in Oceanography (1994-98), University of Bordeaux 1
• DEA in Oceanography (1993-94), University of Bordeaux 1
• DESS in Computer Science (1992-93), University of Tours
• Research Interests:
• Biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
• Microbial ecology of cold seep and deep-sea environments
• Chloromethane degradation pathways and microbial communities
• Genomic analysis of pollutant-degrading bacteria
• Key Achievements:
• Contributions to understanding methane and hydrocarbon degradation in marine sediments
• Development of bacterial bioreporters for environmental monitoring
• Leadership in ANR-funded projects on microbial bioremediation

His recent publications emphasize genomic studies of pollutant-degrading organisms, isotope-based metabolic analysis, and microbial interactions in extreme environments. NADALIG's work bridges fundamental microbiology with applied bioremediation strategies, addressing global environmental challenges.
