Welcome to Amandine Cornille Lab at the Génétique Quantitative and Evolution-Le Moulon, Univ. Paris Saclay!
We use combinations of various approaches (laboratory experiments, field work, modeling, molecular biology, population genetics and genomics) for contributing to our understanding of plant diversity and of how plants, and their associated symbionts (parasites, mutualists), evolve and adapt to their environment.
Amandine Cornille has been awarded of the CNRS Paoletti prize in 2020 for her outstanding research as a young scientist in the field of biology!!!

ECLECTIC is attached to the LabEx SPS (Sciences des Plantes de Saclay) and to SEVE doctoral school .

JOIN THE ECLECTIC LAB
We are always on the lookout for excellent students and postdocs to join the lab!
You are in the right place if you are passionate about questions in ecology, evolution, genomics, together with the applied consequences of the finding. Interested prospective bachelor, Master, PhD students or postdocs should first send Amandine Cornille their CV and a brief description of your research interests and background, career goals, and why you are interested in joining the Amandine Cornille Lab.
