Creation of an International Associated Laboratory "Soil Microbiome and Physiology of Agricultural Plants" (LAI - SOPHYA) result of te collaboration between Chic41H teams and the company Florimond Desprez

The Chicory for One Health (Chic41H) team of the UMR 1158 BioEcoAgro, associated with the company Florimond Desprez, has obtained the University's agreement for the creation of an International Associated Laboratory "Soil Microbiome and Physiology of Agricultural Plants" (LAI - SOPHYA). It is a project that aims to strengthen the partnership with the BioActive Research Group of the University "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" in Romania, specialized in the study of soil microorganisms and bioinformatics.
Under the scientific responsibility of Anna Lucau, SOPHYA will study the interactions between the soil microbiota and the physiology of agricultural plants, integrating projects in plant physiology, nutrigenomics, plant biotechnologies and microbiology. The initiative is supported by a long collaboration with a commitment to structure this scientific partnership through exchanges of researchers, mobility and joint projects.
