Jérémie Bazin is the co-group leader of the FunRNA team. He his particularly interested in understanding the mechanisms that regulate alternative RNA splicing in the stress response in plants. His research is based on the hypothesis that this mechanism contributes significantly to the adaptation of plants to their environment. His work uses a combination of approaches from molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics. It aims to understand: what are the mechanisms that determine the specificity of alternative splicing regulation in response to environmental signals. Focusing particularly on the role of the interaction of lncRNA with splicing factors. More broadly he wants to understand the contribution of this mechanism to the adaptation of plants to their environment during evolution, and in particular in the context of climate change.

Outside the lab, Jérémie loves a good diner with friends, swimming and venturing off the grid on bikepacking trips. In the lab, he enjoys working with a wonderfully international crew of students and early-career researchers—and firmly believes that science should be curious, collaborative, and fun.
