Research Director · National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE) · company speakers →

Claire Veneault-Fourrey is a Research Director at the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE) in Nancy, France and deputy-director of the ‘Tree-Microbe Interactions’ Department. With a strong background as a molecular plant pathologist and experience in molecular biology and fungal biology, Claire’s research is now devoted to understanding the molecular bases of mutualistic interactions between plants and ectomycorrhizal and endophytic fungi. Several collaborative projects are underway to comprehend (i) whether phytohormones are key regulators of the root microbiome of poplar trees, (ii) the function(s) of fungal root endophytes and (iii) whether abiotic stresses impair mutualistic fungi-root interactions.
