GenoRobust Research Activities
Our research aims to identify levers to increase the robustness of animals by restoring a better balance between production and adaptability. We specifically focus on early development of phenotypes and search for indicators to improve robustness. In this context, we analyze the genetic architecture of metabolic processes involved in the balance between production and adaptation (especially energy metabolism of muscle and liver, feto-maternal interaction with studies on endometrium and placenta), and epigenetic mechanisms that influence them.
