Charles Hachez is teaching at the Faculty of Sciences of the Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium. He is specifically interested in the molecular genetic structure ruling the development of glandular trichomes tractable in the leaf epidermis of Nicotiana tabacum. He will accompany our team during the Giant Jamboree in Boston.
Bernard Hallet is also a professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium. He conducts research on the molecular system that mediate specialized DNA rearrangements in bacteria. As Prof. Hachez and Prof. Soumillion, he has been an important actor in our project. Thanks to his support and knowledge, we are succeeding to develop BactaSun
