My expertise / skills :	A PhD in the field of honeybee diseases. I focused on N.apis and N. ceranae with Black queen cell virus. I was also a part of projects that focused on viral diseases of honeybees, monitoring of colony losses. I I am also researching bumblebee diseases (currently during habilitation research). My skills include molecular biology techniques, microscopy (light and TEM), serological diagnostics (AGID), designing and executing experiments/projects (lab and field studies).

Project description :	Honeybee and/or bumblebee/ wild bee diseases detection/ monitoring/ experimental work/ drug/ supplement/ medication testing. Projets looking into host-pathogen interactions as well as pathogen-pathogen interactions in bees and also environment-pathogen interactions. Any work with pathogens/ diseases of different bee species: field and laboratory settings, data analysis. Outreach to beekeepers, citizen science projects.
