With a first background in biotechnology, I graduated from a French engineering school in biology in 2024, with a specialization in ecotoxicology and risk assessment. With interest in both microbiology and the environment, I became particularly interested in bioremediation involving microorganisms. I am now working as a doctoral student on a project investigating the potential effects of bioremediation on natural microbiomes in groundwater, as part of the EMBARQ project.
There is no standardized method for assessing risks of biological agents (e.g., biofertilizers, biopesticides, bioremediation agents), despite their potential for growth, competition, and gene exchange with natural communities. The EMBARQ project (Evaluating Microbiome-Based Applications for Risk Quantification) aims to fill this gap. As part of this project, my work focuses on how bioremediation affects groundwater microbiomes, using chlorinated ethene biodegradation as a case study.
