Research interests

  1. develop and apply statistical models to estimate genetic architectures and predict multiple traits jointly;
  2. collaborate with researchers, farmers and citizens to breed new varieties of cultivated plants in a sustainable manner;
  3. promote reproducibility with free/open tools to facilitate traceability, transparency, and collaborative improvement.

Timothée Flutre

Since January 2014, I am a research scientist (Chargé de Rercherche, CR) at the INRA, in the team "Diversity, Adaptation and Breeding of Grapevine" (DAAV) of the lab "Genetic Improvement and Adaptation of Mediterranean and Tropical Plants" (UMR AGAP), part of the INRA division "Plant Biology and Breeding" (Biologie et Amélioration des Plantes, BAP), based in the INRA center of Montpellier. I have been recruited on the profile "Quantitative genetics and genomics" (topic "Genomic selection and grapevine genetics").

  • timothee.flutre[at]supagro.inra.fr

Until December 2013, I was doing a postdoc with Matthew Stephens at the University of Chicago.

I learned about this website, OpenWetWare, thanks to friends participating in iGEM a few years ago. I joined it because it seems to be a great project, and I like the idea of promoting more openness in science.

Education

  • 2007-2010, PhD in bioinformatics and evolutionary genomics, Université Paris Diderot (FDV); advisors: H. Quesneville (INRA Versailles) and C. Feuillet (INRA Clermont-Ferrand)
  • 2006-2007, MS, interdisciplinary, Université Paris Diderot (AIV)
  • 2003-2007, BS+MS in engineering and life sciences, lycée Sainte Geneviève and AgroParisTech

See also my online CV.

Publications

All my publications are listed on ProdINRA, Zotero, ORCID, Google Scholar and Pubmed. When possible (that is, in agreement with my co-authors), my preprints are available online (upon submission, that is before publication, for instance on arXiv).

Teaching

The French academic system requires researchers (with a PhD) to pass yet another exam to be granted the right to be the main supervisor of PhD students. I still haven't done it, and thus can only officially co-supervise PhD students, or supervise Master students:

  • 12/2016-12/2019: Cathy Bouffartigue, PhD student at INRA Toulouse
    • project: "Revalorisation du patrimoine génétique d'une espèce agroforestière : analyse de trois initiatives territoriales et co-­conception d’outils de gestion chez le châtaignier"
    • joint supervision with L. Hazard and N. Couix, both from INRA Toulouse
  • 06-07/2017: Rémi Bernhard, Master student from ENSIIE
    • project: "Analyze the genetic basis of grapevine response to water stress in a bi-parental progeny with LASSO-like variable selection methods"
    • joint supervision with J. Chiquet, T. Mary-Huard and L. Sansonnet, all from INRA Paris
  • 05/2015-12/2015: Pierre-Etienne Alary, Master student from Montpellier SupAgro
    • project: "QTL mapping for growth curve via stochastic differential equation"
    • joint supervision with B. Fontez (Montpellier SupAgro), P. Roumet (INRA) and A. Garcia (The Plant Accelerator, Univ. of Adelaide)
  • 03/2015-08/2015: Dalel Ahmed, Master student from Montpellier SupAgro
    • project: "Analyze the genetic architectures of traits of interest in a diversity panel of cultivated grapevines"

I can however be part of the thesis committee of PhD students (once a year):

  • 01/2016-12/2018: Dalel Ahmed, PhD student at INRA Corse
    • project: "Genomic analysis of the impact of 2n gametes on the genetic structure and the expression of fruit quality from hybrids of triploid mandarins"
  • 10/2015-09/2018: Gaëlle van Frank, PhD student at INRA Versailles (Le Moulon)
    • project: "Participatory management of crop diversity and on-farm breeding for diverse wheat mixtures"
  • 09/2015-06/2016: Cathy Bouffartigue, PhD student at INRA Orléans
    • project: "Participatory breeding of oak and chestnut for agroforestery usage"

As an INRA researcher, I am not required to teach, but I am sometimes asked by colleagues to speak in their class, or to present in seminars:
