Yonghua Li-Beisson obtained a PhD on lipid metabolism in oleaginous filamentous fungi (Colin Ratledge's laboratory, U.K.). She then did postdoctoral research in the laboratory of John Ohlrogge (USA), where she studied cutin and suberin biosynthesis in plants. At CEA Cadarache (France), she studies microalgae metabolism, physiology and biotechnology. In particular, she is interested in the biogenesis and turnover of lipid droplet during environmental fluctuations. In addition, she serves on the editorial boards for the Plant Cell, Progress in Lipid Research, and Plant Cell and Physiology, and serve on the advisory board for New Phytologist. She is the director for the team focusing on algal photosynthesis and metabolism, and she also leads the European lipidomics platform HelioBiotec.
