Estelle Goulas
Associate Professor
Plant physiology, proteomics, plant cell wall, stress adaptation
Estelle Goulas specializes in plant physiology and plant adaptation to sub-optimal environments.
She obtained her PhD at the University of Caen (UMR EVA, INRA-UCBN) with a study on the regrowth dynamics of white clover in relation to its storage proteins.
After a period as an ATER, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Umeå Plant Science Centre (Sweden) on the chloroplast mechanisms involved in cold acclimation in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Recruited in 2003 in Lille, she developed expertise in plant cell walls and in 2015, she joined the ‘Plant Cell Wall Dynamics’ team at UGSF. She applies integrative approaches combining proteomics, multivariate statistics, and environmental analyses.
As of 2025, she joins IBSP to study the dynamics of polysaccharides in model or atypical organisms from an evolutionary perspective. She is active in numerous European and international projects, and participates in several networks on phenotyping and -omics approaches.
