Mayuri Sadoine is tenure-track junior professor (Chair de Professeur Junior-CPJ) and biologist specializing in molecular biophysics, biosensor engineering, single-molecule techniques, and microbiology. Her expertise spans the study of pathogens and beneficial microbes, particularly in plant-microbe interactions.  Her team focus into understanding plant-microbe dynamics, exploring why microbes adopt a pathogenic or beneficial lifestyle, and unraveling the mechanisms behind their successful colonization of host organisms and interactions with them. They are particularly interested by the evolutionary forces driving microbe behavior, whether it be egoistic or mutualistic.
