Chargé(e) de recherche CNRS

Aurélie Chambouvet

Molecular ecologist, I am focusing on function and diversity of parasitic protists infecting metazoan hosts, in order to assess their ecological relevance and impact on ecosystem dynamics in the context of environmental change.

 

MAJOR CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS

    Diversity and role of the pathobiome in infection by an invasive parasitic protist in clam populations, European consortium of 5 institutes
  • EC2CO-Microbien CNRS Project (2020-22, PI: A. Chambouvet)

        Ecological role of Thraustochytrids (Stramenopiles) associated to bivalve populations

  • Project "Région Bretagne" SAD (2019-21, PI: A. Chambouvet)
