Lionel Ranjard

Ranjard Lionel completed PH.D. in Microbial Ecology, and a postdoc in Bacterial Genetics at Claude Bernard University. He is currently with French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE), as Research Director of BIOCOM team. Dr. Lionel’s research focuses on the definition and understanding of the environmental influence to the dynamics and assembly of telluric microbial communities. Following this interest, he participated in numerous molecular ecology tools allowing the characterization of the density and diversity of indigenous communities, later with an emphasis on the soil microbial communities. He set up in 2006 a strategy of study of the microbial communities on the soils of the RMQS (network of soil quality measurement, ECOMIC-RMQS project. In parallel, Lionel led the creation of the GenoSol platform, the first Genetic Resource Center on soils by the conservation of several thousand microbial soil metagenomes from large samples (RMQS, ORE, networks of sites, LTO EU, etc.). After optimizing the mid-throughput analyzes of the density and genotyping of microbial communities, the GenoSol platform is currently involved in the development of a pipeline of bioinformatics analyzes to manage microbial taxonomic inventories of soils obtained by pyrosequencing of ribosomal genes.
