Florian Maumus

Florian holds a PhD in molecular biology from Ecole Normale Supérieure where he studied the genomic diversity and the epigenome of marine diatoms. He did a first postdoc in plant molecular epigenetics and a second postdoc in which he switched to bioinformatics applied to the study of plant genome evolution.

He was appointed as a Researcher at INRAE in 2014 and he obtained the promising Researcher Award of the institute in 2018. He is currently a Research Director at the Genomics-info research unit at INRAE in Versailles.
