Here’s the team of teachers in charge of this year’s courses, with whom you’ll have the opportunity to interact
Microbial ecology, biofilms, extreme environments, deep-sea
Pauline Vannier completed a Ph.D in microbiology in 2012 at the University in Brest (France). In 2013, she joined the team of Viggo Thor Marteinsson as a postdoctoral researcher at Matis in Iceland. In 2014, she was hired as a project manager and research scientist at Matis (Iceland) and was coordinating various research projects on geomicrobiology, aeromicrobiology, molecular microbiology in extreme environments (volcanic areas, pristine environments, atmosphere, subglacial lakes, …). In 2023 she became an assistant professor at the University of Toulon (France). Dr. Pauline Vannier’s research aims to investigate the microbial community and structure associated with solid surfaces (mainly polymers) in deep oceans. She is also interested in molecular adaptation of microorganisms to various stresses: high hydrostatic pressures, oligotrophic environmental conditions, cold temperatures found in deep-sea.
