Dr Azeddine Si Ammour
I am the CEO of the SPBC and managing both administrative and scientific activities of the center. In addition to a PhD in Plant Sciences, I hold an MBA with expertise in management of finance and innovations in the agri-food sector. My experience in plant genetics, plant molecular breeding and in the use of state-of-the-art plant genomic technologies will allow me to interact in an efficient manner with Swiss Plant Breeders to apply innovative scientific methods to accelerate breeding programs and shorten the time required to introduce new varieties in the market.

Mathieu Deblieck
I have been working at the SPBC since mid-April 2024.
My role is to provide both scientific and administrative support to the center during the starting phase. However, I am mainly responsible for the scientific monitoring of the innovation projects and the cooperation partners involved. One of the major challenges and chances will be to acquire and apply new knowledge from a wide variety of areas for the SPBC to handle the different and various tasks/innovation projects.
So far, I have been able to gain experience in the field of resistance breeding in a wide variety of projects and have dealt with both biotic stress factors (viruses and fungi) and abiotic stress (e.g. drought stress) and their effects on plants. My experience relates to the creation of genetic maps, the calculation of QTL regions, the identification and analysis of candidate genes, the development of different PCR-based molecular markers, the establishment of plant and crossing material as well as the implementation and evaluation of experiments in the greenhouse and in the field.
