[Portraits] Four women's portraits to discover on 8 March 2023

On the occasion of International Women's Rights Day on 8 March, we are pleased to present four new portraits of women who contribute to the life of research at the university.

Isabelle Auriol is a specialist assistant librarian (BIBAS) at the University Library's researcher service. At the beginning of her professional career, she worked as a restorer of rare and precious works on different materials and media used for writing: papyrus, ostraca, oles (palm leaves), ancient terrestrial and celestial maps, posters, etc. Arrived in 2016 at the BU d'Avignon Université, she is now mainly in charge of the service to researchers: the challenge is to make research accessible to as many people as possible, through different tools such as the HAL portal and the Barometer of open science, among others.

"I was working to keep track of the past, now I am helping to shape the future.

She has a PhD in Cell Biology, and then chose to do a Master's degree in Innovation and Technology Management (ESC Toulouse). She then worked for several years at CNRS Innovation (Paris) and discovered the world of intellectual property and technology transfer.
She will join the Valorisation and Technology Transfer Unit of the DARI in November 2021 and will manage the implementation of different types of contracts related to research.

"It is very useful to rub shoulders with research yourself to fully understand the world of research!"

Alice Château is a teacher-researcher in microbiology, within the SporAlim team of the SQPOV laboratory (Safety and Quality of Plant Products). Curious about nature since childhood, she naturally turned to microbiology.
His research now focuses on the surface of the bacteria Bacillus cereus which is an agent responsible for food poisoning and spoilage in the agri-food industry. His work aims to identify the targets of endolysins on the surface of this bacterium. It will provide new knowledge to develop tools to detect, prevent and eliminate B. cereusThe aim of this project is to develop a new approach to food safety, particularly in biofilms.

"I am always amazed by these natural wonders and their ingenuity in adapting to their environment.

Alice Mornet is a lecturer in private law and criminal sciences at the Biens Normes Contrats laboratory.
His research focuses on criminal law and procedure and the impact of the development of digital law and European Union law on these areas.
Her desire to work in university research was born in a lecture hall while attending lectures by her future thesis director.

"Teaching was my first motivation and even today I cannot conceive of research without teaching, and vice versa.
