I am Nicolas Tessandier, a junior researcher at Montpellier University (France). I am based at MIVEGEC, IRD.
I study vaginal microbiota and its effect on health. I am interested in a range of questions, from how to better diagnose its dysbiotic state, how to model it efficiently to how to better treat its imbalance.
I am supported by an ExposUM Fellowship that will enable me to study the impact of some contaminants from menstrual protections on the vaginal environment.
