Research interests

  • Reproduction and epigenetics in domestic animals
  • Genomic and transcriptomic analyses of the oocyte and the embryo
  • Follicular growth and differentiation using trancriptomics and the evaluation of the follicular quality

The main focus of our research concerns the oocyte competence, which essentially depends on the follicle status. Our genomic tools allow us to discover and study the markers of healthy follicles in both cattle and humans to improve practices, particularly in in vitro fertilization. More recently, our research includes epigenetic aspects that allow the transmission of non-genetic information and more particularly the metabolic status of the mother and its influence on the quality of the oocyte, the embryo and the future newborn.
