The UMR 7141 « Photobiology and Physiology of Plastids and Microalgae » is affiliated with the CNRS and Sorbonne Université. We are composed of around twenty permanent staff (researchers, assistant professors, engineers, technicians and administration) and around fifteen non-permanent collaborators, graduate students and post-doctorates. This laboratory is dedicated to the study of light-driven processes (photosynthesis and photoperception) and chloroplast biology.
The UMR 7141 addresses key questions on the biology, evolution and ecology of microalgae by focusing on different molecular model systems (e.g., Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Phaeodactylum tricornutum) and on ecological relevant phytoplanktonic species, investigated with approaches of eco-physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, genomics and genetics. The UMR 7141 continues the scientific tradition of the “Service Photosynthèse” established within the Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology since 1967. Oganizational Chart
