Main sector of activity:
Valorization of biomass into biobased products, production of microalgae, forest extractives
- Production of microalgae in industrial effluents
- Harvesting of algal biomass with paper technologies
- Extraction of molecules of interest from forest biomass
- Evaluation of the antimicrobial efficacy of extracts from biomass and functionalized paper products
Nathalie is a biologist with a master’s degree in Environmental Science and has been a researcher at Innofibre since 2014. Her experience has oriented her towards regional development, circular economy, value chain organization and consultation with local stakeholders. My expertise is also put to good use in Innofibre’s research projects involving biological and microbiological aspects, such as the production of microalgae and the development of natural antimicrobials.
