Welcome to Manuel Derrien

On December 1st, 2024, Manuel Derrien joined the Miscanthus INRAE's team led by Maryse BRANCOURT-HULMEL, within the BioEcoAgro Joint Cross-Border Research Unit.

Manuel graduated from the agronomic engineering school UniLaSalle Beauvais last September and will be pursuing a three-year PhD at the INRAE site in Estrées-Mons. He will launch and assess the first genome-wide selection pipeline for Miscanthus sinensis to accelerate the breeding cycle of this perennial crop. He will also evaluate the accuracy of prediction for complex traits that are challenging to observe or quantify.
