Alexandre Jousset

Alexandre Jousset is CEO of the biotechnology company Cybiome GmbH and professor at Nanjing Agricultural University. He ranks among the top 2% microbial ecology researchers (Stanford global ranking). He holds a PhD from he Technical University in Darmstadt and was professor at Utrecht University. His work combines theoretical ecology with microbial genetics and bioinformatics to unlock the power of environmental microbiomes. His goal is to unravel universal predictors microbiome functioning by drawing on general theories rather than idiosyncratic traits. His company designs microbiome digital twins to answer biotechnology grand challenges around sustainable agriculture. He leverages this technology to improve microbiome ability to prevent diseases, improve plant nutrition or degrade recalcitrant pollutants
