Master's projects

A specific Master Orientation Microbiology is currently being developed.

For now, many microbiology projetcs are proposed in the following orientations:

ORIENTATION MOLECULAR BIOSCIENCES, GENETICS, DEVELOPMENT & EVOLUTION (MBGDE):

• Dr. Arnaud Blouin, Dr Olivier Schumpp (Agroscope à Nyon) : A region, a vineyard and a plant, three scales to study the genetic diversity of the grapevine fanleaf virus, a major pathogen of our vineyards.
• Dr. Christophe Debonneville, Dr. Olivier Schumpp (Agroscope à Nyon) : Analysis of Flavescence Dorée effectors
• Dr. Cristina Corti (SUPSI, Tessin) : Biomineralisation and bioconsolidation: inorganic solids produced by microorganisms
• Dr. Karl Perron (Dpt. of Plant Sciences) : Co-regulation of metal and antibiotic resistance in bacteria
• Prof. Kimberly Kline (CMU): Pathogenesis of biofilm-associated infections
• Prof. Martina Valentini (CMU) : Regulation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa antibiotic susceptibility by the HrpA RNA helicase
• Dr. Nicola Storelli (SUPSI, Tessin) : Microbial ecology of Lake Cadagno: oxic-anoxic interface
• Prof. Patrick Viollier (CMU) : Function & biotechnology of a new glycosyltransferase for O-protein glycosylation
• Prof. Thierry Soldati (Dpt of Biochemistry): Cell-autonomous mechanisms of sensing and defence against Mycobacteria infection

ORIENTATION BIODIVERSITY AND SYSTEMATICS (BDS):

• Dr. Andreas Bruder (SUPSI, Tessin): Functional biodiversity of small aquatic ecosystems
• Dre Cristina Corti (SUPSI, Tessin) : Biomineralisation and bioconsolidation: inorganic solids produced by microorganisms
• Dr. Nicola Storelli (SUPSI, Tessin) : Microbial ecology of Lake Cadagno: oxic-anoxic interface
