Biography


Philippe Oger is a senior Scientist of the French National Scientific Research Center (CNRS) working in Lyon. He is a trained agronomist and received his PhD degree from the University of Paris XI in 1995 working on the metabolic interactions between transgenic plants and the soil microbes. The following four years he studied the co-evolution of the metabolism in a host-pathogen system. He has joined the CNRS in 2000 and is now leading a group working on the metabolism of microbes in the deep-biosphere, with an emphasis on adaptation to environmental constraints and mineral alteration in procaryotes, and applications in novel energies sources for the future.
