Nicolas Szydlowski
CNRS Research Fellow – Co-Head of Team
Storage polysaccharides, biochemistry, genome editing, proteomics
Holding a PhD in Life Sciences (University of Lille, 2009), Nicolas Szydlowski has for several years developed recognized expertise in the study of storage polysaccharides, particularly starch.
He employs an integrative approach combining biochemistry, proteomics, genome editing (notably via CRISPR/Cas9) and analyses on miniaturized platforms. His research focuses on the structural heterogeneity of starch granules, cold-induced sweetening in potatoes, and the function of enzymes or non-enzymatic proteins associated with amylopectin.
He maintains close collaborations with academic and industrial partners, both in France and internationally.
Nicolas is highly involved in doctoral supervision and scientific valorization.
