Call 2016 Young Scientists for the Future: 4 outstanding students selected

The TULIP Scientific Committee and an external scientific board selected 4 “Young Scientists for the Future” students among more than four hundred candidates for four TULIP’s PhD grants.

After a first selection of 11 candidates applications by the TULIP Scientific Committee, 4 of them were finally selected by an external scientific board on the basis of their cursus, their research experiences, and adequation of their profile to TULIP's themes, preferentially at the interface between molecular biology and ecology.

The laureates are:

  • Manuel Gonzales Fuente (Germany) Evolutionary conservation of plant targets of pathogenicity determinants from xylem-colonizing bacteria (Peeters/Noel)
  • Lorenzo Favale (Italy) Plant response to multiple pathogen strain infection: An ecological genomics approach for the dissection of underlying molecular mechanisms (Roby/Roux)
  • Harihar Jaishree Subrahmania (India) The genetics of plant – plant cooperation in the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana (Roux/Roby)
  • Rekha Gopalan (India) Role of epigenetic modifications in a plant pathogen during host adaptation (Guidot/Genin)

This is undoubtedly a great operation of attractiveness affecting our international visibility, the selected candidates having excellent CVs and coming from various countries: Spain, Italy and India. We particularly wanted to thank all of those who proposed a thesis project but did not get a chance of having a student selected by our scientific board and our external experts.

We wish fair winds to the four teams.
