Prof. Rozenn RAVALLEC
Rozenn RAVALLEC is currently Full Professor at the University of Lille and leads the cross border research unit (UMRt) INRAE BioEcoAgro between France and Belgium. She has almost 25 years of expertise in the valorization of agri-food co-products and her research focuses more particularly on the biological activity of peptides generated during gastrointestinal digestion and their interactions with the intestinal environment in a One Health context. Her scientific work also includes participation in collaborative research projects involving universities, research centers, and institutional or industrial partners. These projects aim, in particular, to improve our understanding of the effects of processing on the nutritional quality of food and to generate data useful for the scientific evaluation of food products, co-products and ingredients. She is co-director of an industrial chair with the company Ingredia (ProteinoPepS) and co-director of the international research network on the bioproduction of natural bioactive molecules (2RI SEBioVA) with INAF in Quebec. Naturally, Rozenn Ravallec is also involved in disseminating scientific knowledge through publications in specialized journals and presentations at symposia, seminars, and conferences, but also in the organisation of specific congresses such as Antimic2026 and OHID2026 (One Health International Days).
Besides, Rozenn RAVALLEC is also Evaluator for ANR (French National Research Agency), HCERES (High Council for the Evaluation of Research and Higher Education), and reviewer for novel international journals.
Up to now, she has 73 Peer reviewed international publications, 8 Book chapters,4 Patents, and 79 Communications in National and International Conferences
