Maggy Nugues
Associate Professor (Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, CRIOBE, France)
Maggy is the principal investigator of the CORALMATES project. She works on coral-algal competitive ecology and coral recruitment biology.
Camille Vizon
PhD candidate (Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, CRIOBE, France)
Camille is working on the chemical and microbial mediation of coral recruitment.
Chloé Pozas-Schacre
PhD candidate (Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, CRIOBE, France)
Chloé works on the indirect chemical and microbial effects of benthic macroalgae on corals. She studies smellscapes and how these can influence the response of the coral holobiont.
Hendrikje Jorissen
Postdoctoral researcher (Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research & Education (CMORE): Nelson lab and Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB): Donahue lab, USA)
Hendrikje works on the interaction between coralline algae and coral recruitment and on the effects of environmental stressors on coral-algal interactions.
Pierre Galand
CNRS director (Observatoire Océanologique de Banyuls, Banyuls-sur-Mer, France)
Pierre is a microbial ecologist and he uses “omics” to work on the bacterial and archaeal communities associated to the coral and the algae.
Corentin Hochart
PhD candidate (Sorbonne Université, Observatoire Océanologique de Banyuls, LECOB, Banyuls-sur-Mer, France)
Corentin uses bioinformatics to analyse the diversity and the genomes of the host associated microbial communities.
