id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The AFIM team (Food, Fermentation, Interactions, and Microbiota), part of the Joint Research Unit for Food and Microbiological Processes (UMR PAM), conducts research in the fields of food microbiology, fermentation, microbial interactions, and the relationships between the microbiota and health. The team's research aims to gain a better understanding of the role of microorganisms in complex food ecosystems, their interactions with their environment, and their potential effects on host health. The team brings together researchers and academic staff with complementary expertise in microbiology, microbial physiology, and the study of microorganism–host interactions. The team's scientific activities are structured around four complementary research areas :. Microbial Functionalities and Fermentation Optimization : Characterization of the functional properties of microorganisms and improvement of fermentation processes. Microbial Adaptation and Fermentation Control : Investigation of the mechanisms underlying microbial adaptation to food environments and the control of fermentation ecosystems. Microbial Signaling and Host Responses : Investigation of microbial communication mechanisms and interactions between microorganisms and host cells. Microbiota Modulation and Its Impact on Health: Exploration of the relationships between the microbiota, diet, and health. Through its complementary s
