Ahlem AZRI is a PhD student in the 3rd year of a cotutelle doctoral program between the Université de Toulouse (Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse, France - INPT) and the Université de Gabès (Faculté des Sciences de Gabès, Tunisie). She holds a master's degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology at the Faculté des Sciences de Gabès. She carried out her master's research at the Laboratoire de Génie Chimique (Faculté de Pharmacie de Toulouse, France), she has studied the chemical and biological characterization of prune seeds. Her doctoral research is conducted in collaboration with the Laboratoire de Chimie Agroindustrielle (LCA) and the Laboratoire de Génie Chimique (LGC) in France, as well as at the Laboratoire de Biodiversité et Valorisation des Bioressources and the Laboratoire de Biodiversité, Molécule et Applications in Tunisia. Her doctoral research focuses on the chemical characterization of a collection of seeds by refining genotypes to follow a screening of the seed composition from farm to fork. Her research is intended for biorefinery applications, particularly emphasizing the valorization of bioactive molecules and seed by-products in the nutritional sector. This involves the study of the production of seed under different climatic conditions. She is passionate about plants and their essential role and has a strong interest in agronomy and biochemistry research.
