Mickaël Mitterrand

I am an engineer with 4 years’ experience managing projects both in the laboratory and in the field in different companies. I am specialized in plant pathology with specific competences in diagnosing pr otocols, but also to establish the diagnostic protocols on media or with molecular tools. I have good technical skills, and I am also able to explain complex situations in simple terms. I perform well when given a challenge. I believe that the success of a project comes from teamwork and good communication. I understand how important it is to create an enabling environment for the team and individuals in order for all to excel. I'm attracted to innovation and R & D, especially in the field of plant pathology. I am dynamic, serious and organized.
