Hélène Bergès (born August 27, 1966 in Pau) is a French scientist and was the Director of the French Plant Genomic Resources Center from its foundation until 2019.
After her PhD, Bergès joined the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) in 1998, to first focus on research in studying plant interactions with microbes. In 2003, her position at INRA allowed her to found a separate department called the French Plant Genomic Resources Center (CNRGV) where she was the director until 2019.[1] Employing some twenty people, the CNRGV is involved in various international sequencing consortia, develops various projects funded by the French Government (Grand Emprunt), the French National Research Agency (ANR) or the European Union, in collaboration with various laboratories all around the world.[citation needed] Along other activities, Hélène Bergès is member of the scientific committee of the Parliamentary Office for the Evaluation of Scientific and Technological Options (OPECST).[1] In 2021, she was one of the researchers highlighted in the " La Science taille XX elles" exhibition presented in Toulouse.[2]
Researchedit
Bergès' early research used Escherichia coli as a model system to examine cytokines[3] and plasmid copy numbers.[4] She then she moved on to examine the bacterial cells associated with plant roots including the development of microarrays[5] which allowed her to quantify gene expression in these bacteria.[6][7] She was an early adopter of the need to sequence plant genomes,[8] and her recent work includes large-scale sequencing projects including those generating genomic information on barley,[9] wheat,[10] and sunflowers.[11]
