During 2013, a CEBA internal jury auditioned candidates for theses proposed in the research area of the Labex. Five students were selected for funding. They started their work on October 1st 2013. In addition, the thesis launched in August on lepidopterism (also known as moth dermatitis is co-financed by the CEBA.
With these six students, this brings the number of theses funded CEBA in 2013 to 12. The total number of PhD students working in CEBA teams is 39.
Here are the subjects of the 6 theses:
1. Ant metabolites in French Guiana and their associated microorganisms: a functional ecological approach as a source of inspiration for the discovery of antimalarial and antimicrobial compounds
Student: Caroline Birer (Ecofog)

Thesis directed by Jean-François Guégan (Mivegec) and co-directed by Sébastien Gourbière (Université de Perpignan) and Mathieu Nacher (Epat/CHC)
6. Identification of environmental and genetic factors that could regulate the population dynamics of “butterflies-ash” Hylesia spp. (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), the insect species responsible for moth dermatitis in French Guiana
Student: Marina Ciminera (Ecofog)
