Maté’Radio #3: “In search of plastic-eating microbes”, with Abel Cousin

For the 3rd Maté’Radio, on March 27 at 5:30 p.m. on Radio Campus Lille, Abel Cousin, a 2nd-year doctoral student at UCCS, invites you to join him in tracking down the microorganisms capable of digesting plastic, and which could be a solution for the treatment of plastic waste. To do this, Abel is using REALCAT, an innovative research platform that uses robots to speed up experimentation and AI to facilitate processing of the resulting data. An interview that crosses the natural and artificial worlds.

With Maté’Radio, doctoral students from Institut Chevreul laboratories explains their research work and talks about their career and daily life. Airing monthly on Radio Campus Lille every last Wednesday evening, during the Quoi de neuf? show. Find all the replays on the dedicated page.
