Guillaume Cailleau

Biography

Guillaume Cailleau is a research associate in the Microbiology Laboratory at the University of Neuchâtel. He is in charge of 3D printing, data science support (including bioinformatics) and scientific illustration. PhD. in geology/soil science from the University of Neuchâtel (2005), he continued his research as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Dundee and then at the University of Lausanne. In 2019 he joined Prof. Pilar Junier’s Microbiology Laboratory.
