Gaëlle Lefort's PhD defense

Gaëlle Lefort (co-supervised with Rémi Servien, INRAE LBE, Laurence Liaubet, INRAE GenPhySE and Hélène Quesnel, INRAE PEGASE) worked during her PhD on automatic quantification of 1H MNR spectra with applications to biomarker discovery for piglet maturity at birth. Her work was published in:
