Machine learnig, artificial intelligence used for plant biology and beyond

Gabriel Krouk is an agricultural engineer (AgroSup Dijon), doctor and holder of a Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) from the University of Montpellier/SupAgro. He completed his post-doctorate at New York University (NYU) in Gloria Coruzzi's laboratory. Gabriel Krouk is currently Director of Research at the CNRS in Montpellier. His work lies at the interface between biology (mainly molecular physiology and functional genomics) and modelling. His research initially focused on the interactions between nutrient perception and hormonal signalling in plants. He is now interested in the combinatorial effects of nitrogen and phosphorus signalling on plant development and molecular responses.
More recently, his work has also expanded to fundamental questions of in silico simulation of biological phenomena and phenotype prediction through machine learning. He also studies peptides generated by artificial intelligence, with applications in both plant biology and human health. He is co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of the start-up BionomeeX, which specialises in these innovative approaches.
