Biography
Juliette de Meaux is working as a Professor at Botanical Institute, Cologne Biocenter, University of Cologne and as a treasurer at SMBE Association
Research Interest
Her research seeks to reconstruct the recent history of adaptive molecular variation in plant systems. In other terms, she aim at dissecting the molecular mechanisms of Darwinian evolution in complex natural systems. She work with the weedy annual and model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana and its close relatives A. lyrata and A. halleri. Her work focuses on understanding links between life history strategies and fitness. She further intend to develop new methods to track the action of natural selection at the molecular level
