Visiting French Scientist in Residence: Dr Emmanuelle Helloin

Dr Emmanuelle Helloin is a research engineer at INRAE (France) specializing in bacteriology. Her academic background includes a Master's in Microbial Ecology with a focus on biological treatment of wastewater, and doctoral research on the impact of environmental factors on Listeria monocytogenes in cheese production. She furthered her research with a postdoctoral fellowship focused on identifying virulence factors of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli. Currently, she is responsible for organizing and developing the CIRM-BP, a culture collection of animal and human pathogenic bacteria at INRAE (Nouzilly). Her expertise lies in the bacteriology of risk group 2 and 3 pathogens, with a strong emphasis on biosafety and biosecurity as well as ISO 9001 quality management. 

Dr Helloin's current objectives involve expanding the CIRM-BP collection to include commensal bacteria and a microbiota biobank, aiming to make these resources accessible to the international scientific community. She actively participates in European and national research projects focused on characterizing bacterial biodiversity and evaluating potential new antimicrobial agents.

Emmanuelle will be in residence at Green College for three months, beginning in September 2025.
