Quick presentation

Roselyne FERRARI is an Associate Professor in the Paris Diderot University since 1994. She defended her PhD thesis entitled “Investigation of foliar lipid peroxidation in higher plants and evaluation of antioxidant capacities of sensitive or drought-resistant plants” in 1992 (Paris Diderot University, France) in the field of Tropical Plant Biology. She then got interested in microorganisms and studied a class of enzymes capable of detoxifying fatty acid hydroperoxides: “the alkylhydroperoxide reductases”. She then investigated the ability of Escherichia coli to detoxify emerging pollutants in aquatic environments and in particular man-made metal oxide nanoparticles. She participated for 10 years in the development of laboratory tests to assess the toxicity of zinc oxide and titanium nanoparticles in natural aquatic environments. She showed, through metabolomics and proteomics, that E. coli tries to overcome the stress caused by nanoparticles by increasing its oxidative and respiratory capacity.

More recently, she started to work again on polyunsaturated fatty acids and peroxidation phenomena, but this time on fungi. She is also interested in the ability of some microscopic coprophilous fungi to destroy lignocellulose. These ascomycete fungi are over-equipped with hydrolytic enzymes, such as oxidases or oxygenases.

Research Projects:

Since May 2021, I participate, in the project of valorization of the methanization process. This interdisciplinary project funded by the Center for Earth Policy (CPT) is related to humanities and social sciences. It is carried within the LIED by the B2C team directed by Florence Chapeland-Leclerc with whom I collaborate actively. This collaboration follows my participation in the supervision of Lisa Brière's internship.  This project aims to better understand the impact of the use of residues from anaerobic digestion units on the health and biodiversity of soils, particularly following the spreading of digestate.

I also participate since April 2021 with Sylvain Brun (GEC team), in an interdisciplinary project led by a researcher from IPGP, Yann Sivry, in the framework of Sophie Coural's thesis. This project deals with the use of trees in cities as passive sensors of atmospheric micropollutants. In this context, I am revisiting the interaction of nanoparticles in air and living organisms and I bring my contribution to this work which is at its beginning.
