Here’s the team of teachers in charge of this year’s courses, with whom you’ll have the opportunity to interact
Metal, Hyperthermophile interactions, Deep-sea hydrothermal vents, Biominerals, Biogeochemical cycles
Aurore Gorlas is an associate professor at Université de Bretagne Occidentale and a researcher at the BEEP laboratory. Trained as a microbiologist and specializing in extremophilic archaea, her research focuses on the mechanisms enabling hyperthermophilic archaea to survive and adapt to the extreme conditions found in deep-sea hydrothermal vents. She is particularly interested in the interactions between microorganisms, metals, and minerals, with a focus on iron–sulfur biomineralization and its implications for biogeochemical cycles.
