Frederique Vernel-Pauillac is a research engineer in the Molecular Mycology Unit. She is currently PhD student. After an assignment in the network (Institut Pasteur of New-Caledonia) where she was involved in two public health […]
Our team has developed genetic tools allowing the study of the biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We developed the first methods using molecular biology for the rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis and study transmission. We isolated […]
Innate immunity and Leptospira La leptospirose est une zoonoose réémergente, négligée et de répartition mondiale, causée par des bactéries pathogènes incluant l’espèce Leptospira interrogans. Ces bactéries spiralées et motiles pénètrent leur hôte par la […]
After graduating as an engineer from Ecole Polytechnique, Jean-Pierre Levraud obtained a PhD in Immunology at Université Pierre et Marie Curie (then Paris VI) in 1997, working on anti-tumor T cell immunity under the […]
Marc Lecuit, MD, PhD, is a microbiologist and an infectious diseases physician. He is the Director of the Biology of Infection Unit at the Institut Pasteur and Inserm (U1117) and of the Listeria National […]
My current interests center on (1) the effects of infection and inflammation on olfaction, (2) the role of nasal dysbiosis in Parkinson disease, and (3) the role of adult neurogenesis in olfaction. […]
Expert in patch-clamp recordings and in the analysis of synaptic function and plasticity, he has been studying the neurophysiology of the olfactory bulb for almost 20 years, with a particular focus on the function […]
My main goal is to understand how experience and sensory perception shape brain circuits to trigger behaviour. To tackle these questions, I implement different technical tools including a combination of behavioral analysis, viral vector […]
The emergence of discrete cell identities from undifferentiated precursor cells is a central process in development and tissue homeostasis and repair, that when defective is at the basis of many human conditions including cancer […]
My recent work focuses on the genetic and functional dissection of complex traits using the mouse genetic toolbox. After developing a collection of interspecific congenic strains which were instrumental in exploring the genetic control […]
After a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Lyon-I in 1995, Dr Aziz El-Amraoui joined the Institut Pasteur (Paris) where resorting to dozen identified deafness genes as entry points has enabled him to […]
