Sylvain Darnet holds currently a position of Assistant Professor at the University of Lorraine (France). His research qualification and expertise cover the area of plant isoprenoid biology.<\/p>\n
In 2004, he received a PhD from the University of Strasbourg (France), working in the department of Pr. P. Benveniste, at the Institut de Biologie Mol\u00e9culaire des Plantes (IBMP-CNRS). His major achievement was the characterization of two new oxidases involved in plant sterol biosynthesis, using an array of tools in biochemistry and functional genomics, like for instance virus-induced gene silencing.<\/p>\n
After that he moved to Brazil at the University Federal of Par\u00e1 in Bel\u00e9m to develop several projects on bioactive natural products from the Amazonia. He set up a phytochemical lab at the Instituto de Ci\u00eancias Biol\u00f3gicas of UFPA, contributed to the development of NGS and bioinformatics as a support for functional phytochemistry (on diverse plant species like pepper, \u2018a\u00e7ai\u2019 palm), and also in human genetics. During the period 2017-2020, Sylvain Darnet was co PI, with Hubert Schaller from the Plant Isoprenoid Biology team at the IBMP-CNRS in Strasbourg, of a cooperation program LIA UFPA-CNRS on terpene metabolism and thermal stress tolerance.<\/p>\n
In 2020, Sylvain Darnet was a senior postdoc on a H2020 Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie fellowship\/reintegration panel, under the supervision of Hubert Schaller at the IBMP-CNRS. His research project was focused on the regulatory mechanisms at play in the biosynthesis and accumulation of phytosterols (\u2018High Phytosterol variants towards improved feedstocks and biofortification of crops\u2019).<\/p>\n
Sylvain Darnet joined the redox regulation and stress response team in Nancy in 2021. His research is now centered on stress tolerance mechanisms of ligninolytic fungi, with a special focus on \u00a0the role of RNA silencing and the importance of fungal isoprenoid biology for the adaptation to hostile environments.<\/p>\n
