New intern · March 2026 Welcome to Axelle Saget-Lethias, MaHeWa intern studying microbial biodiversity in the southern lagoon |
|
As part of her third and final year of the Bachelor of Technology in Biological Engineering, specialising in Environmental Sciences and Ecotechnologies, at the University of Clermont Auvergne, Axelle Saget-Lethias is currently undertaking a four-month internship at Ifremer, from 16 March to 6 July.
Axelle is taking part in the MaHeWa project, with her internship focused on studying the dynamics and biodiversity of marine microorganisms (protists, archaea, bacteria) in the southern lagoon of New Caledonia. This work draws on molecular biology approaches, in particular the optimisation and implementation of PCR and qPCR techniques for the detection of pathogenic organisms and/or those of ecological interest. |
