Eleonore Attard

Research engineer at the University of Pau and Pays de l'Adour for more than 10 years, Eleonore Attard studies microbial ecology in agrosystems and focuses on the role of plant endophytes.

She coordinates or contributes to the coordination of projects aiming at evaluating and exploiting the roles of beneficial microorganisms in potato crops (Eranet H2020), in corn seeds (in collaboration with Euralis, an international seed company), and in grapevine (in collaboration with GreenCell).

She co-supervises 2 PhD students, one of them with Patrice Rey. She has published 17 papers (H-index=12).
