EVANGELISTI Edouard

Filamentous microbes, cellular and molecular aspects of host-microbe interactions.

Born in Cannes (France), graduated in Nice (France), postdoctoral research associate at the Sainsbury Laboratory, Cambridge University (United Kingdom), then Assistant Professor and group leader at Wageningen University & Research (WUR), Dr. Edouard Evangelisti holds an IDEX UCAJEDI Chair of Excellence at Université Côte d’Azur.

Dr. Edouard Evangelisti studies filamentous microorganisms and their interactions with plants, with a special focus on oomycetes. His research explores the molecular and cellular mechanisms of plant infection by oomycetes. He leads an interdisciplinary project that integrates molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics to uncover the molecular foundations of oomycete virulence. Dr. Evangelisti is also engaged in fungi research. He maintains AMFinder, an AI tool for detecting and quantifying arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in roots, and contributes to documenting alpine ascomycetes in the Mercantour National Park. Updates on his work are available on Twitter.
