(CÉROM) A former Centre SÈVE student, Tanya Copley joined the CÉROM team in 2016 to develop research projects on field crop plant pathogens, including disease surveillance and identification of resistance and virulence factors.1 1 https://cerom.qc.ca/organisation/notre-equipe/chercheurs.html

Biologist-entomologistLaboratoire d'expertise et de diagnostic en phytoprotection du MAPAQ Jean Philippe Légaré holds a bachelor's degree in Biology and a master's degree in entomology from Laval University. After his graduated studies on the impact of various silvicultural treatments on the beetle communities of the North Shore, he joined, in 2010, the team of the Laboratory of expertise and diagnosis in phytoprotection of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Quebec (MAPAQ). He first had to work on the Iriis phytoprotection image bank, and then became a provincial entomologist. The laboratory team is involved in a large number of phytoprotection cases. The identification of enemies of native or exotic crops, phytosanitary surveillance of Quebec's agricultural land, the transfer of knowledge as well as the contribution to various research projects represent the main activities of the Laboratory.
