Mohamed Barakat

Mohamed Barakat is a research engineer at the CNRS. He was responsible for the neurobiology-endocrinology sector of the Pascal database (1989-1996, INIST-CNRS). He joined LEMIRE (1996) to study plant-bacteria interactions, then the cell cycle of Ramlibacter tataouinensis and the adaptation mechanisms of this model bacterium to desert life and its resistance to desiccation. After one year of training as part of a DESS (University of Marseille), he is currently working on bioinformatics research, the analysis of data from so-called "omics" technologies and the construction of genomics and proteomics databases dedicated to microbiology and microbial ecology.

Mohamed Barakat obtained a doctorate in neurobiology at the University of Nancy (1989), as well as a DESS in computer science, option bioinformatics at the University of Marseille (2003).
