Presentation of the research project aimed at building a FAIR, reproducible, federated, and sustainable bioinformatics infrastructure to explore the interactions between microorganisms and their environment or host.
In this seminar, I will present my research project aimed at building a FAIR, reproducible, federated, and sustainable bioinformatics infrastructure to explore the interactions between microorganisms and their environment or host. This project, which I am proposing for a research position at LMGE, focuses on three core areas:
-
Genome Reconstruction and Multi-Omics Approaches: The primary focus is on characterizing microorganisms and their interactions with their environment or host, using advanced genome reconstruction techniques such as long-read sequencing and single-cell amplified genomes. These will be integrated with multi-omics approaches (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) to provide comprehensive insights into microbial communities.
-
Monitoring Microbial Changes for Food Security and One Health: The second area focuses on tracking and monitoring microbial changes in agricultural, environmental, and health-related settings to address emerging challenges in food security and One Health. By studying microbial dynamics in these systems, the project aims to detect potential threats like pathogen emergence or antimicrobial resistance, ensuring the safety of food production and the protection of public health.
-
Impact of Environmental Changes on Microbial Ecosystems: The final area explores how environmental or host changes affect microbial diversity and function. This involves studying the consequences of factors like climate change, pollution, or shifts in host health on microorganisms.
Throughout the seminar, I will highlight my past contributions to bioinformatics tool development and genome reconstruction, which form the foundation of this project. I will also discuss the future direction of the work, focusing on creating infrastructure that is both scalable and adaptable to emerging technologies.
Finally, I aim to open discussions about possible collaborations with LMGE, to explore synergies between this project and ongoing research within the lab. This seminar will serve as a platform to align our mutual interests and explore opportunities for joint work.
