Antoine Fort graduated with a BSc in Plant biology and Physiology in Tours University, France, in 2008 and a MSc in Plant Biotechnology from Bordeaux University, France, in 2010. He later obtained a PhD in NUI Galway on the theme of crop improvement through genetic engineering & ploidy manipulation in 2013. This was followed by four post-doctoral positions over 8 years, where Antoine worked on a variety of organisms ranging from crops, seaweeds, invertebrates and microbes.
Antoine’s expertise and research work is multidisciplinary in nature and ranges from bioinformatics and “omics” analyses to cas9 genome editing, food production, and molecular ecology. His current research interests are the discovery of novel bioactives from the seaweed microbiome and is always on the lookout for motivated graduate /postgraduate students to participate in research projects.
