Christian Sardet received his PhD from the University of California Berkeley. In the 1980s, he established a Cell and Developmental Biology Research Unit at the Observatoire océanologique de villefranche-sur-mer (OOV) where he now serves as Research Director Emeritus under the joint auspices of the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) and the Université Paris 6, P. & M. Curie.
As one of the cofounders and coordinators of the Tara Oceans expedition, Sardet himself navigated the globe filming and photographing plankton. He works closely with Noé Sardet and Sharif Mirshak, “The Macronauts,” notably on photographic exhibitions, multimedia projects and a site “Plankton Chronicles,” produced with the CNRS by their company Parafilms in Montreal. The team bridges art and science to foster broader appreciation of evolution, biology and ecology by means of documentaries, animated films and exhibitions.
Sardet was awarded the 2007 European Award for Communication in Life Sciences from the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). His publications include the book Plankton: Wonders of the Drifting World (Ulmer, 2013, Kawade Shobo: 2014, University of Chicago: 2015).
