Hubert Schaller defended a PhD at the Université Louis Pasteur in 1992 on the « Selection and characterization of tobacco mutants resistant to inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis » under the supervision of Prof. P. Benveniste. He did a postdoc in Plant Molecular Biology and Genetics at the Max Planck Institute in Köln, Germany, in 1993/1994. Before that he worked as a visiting Research Associate at the University Malaya (UM), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1989/1990, in field botany and phytochemistry, on a program coined “A New Phytochemical Survey of Malaysia”. He was hired as a CNRS scientist at the IBMP in 1994. He develops his research on Plant Isoprenoid Biology since 2006 as a team leader. The goal of the team is to provide a refined understanding of critical roles of sterol lipids and the regulation of sterol pathways in plant biological processes.
