A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

About

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 of skull shape, I am now taking advantage of the genetic diversity of the Collaborative Cross which was imported at the Institut Pasteur when I was the director of the animal facilities. My team uses this cutting-edge genetic resource to investigate the role of host genes in the susceptibility to infectious diseases. I am also involved in teaching, being co-director of the Institut Pasteur Mouse Genetics course since 1995.

INTRANZIGEANT: Integrated study of Zika virus transmission to identify genetic mechanisms and new antiviral targets

Louis Lambrechts (PI)

Vector-borne pathogens like dengue or Zika viruses are transmitted to a human via the bite of a mosquito infected by a previous bite on an infected human. This transmission cycle is responsible for the […]

Mouse models for COVID-19

Xavier Montagutelli (PI)

We are interested in identifying host genetic factors affecting the susceptibility of mice to infection by SARS-CoV-2 using Collaborative Cross (CC) mice. Since mice were not naturally susceptible to the first (Wuhan) strains of […]

Collaborative Cross initiatives

Xavier Montagutelli (PI)

Although mouse models have been invaluable to study human diseases, classical mouse laboratory strains (figure, left panel, colored dots) present much smaller genetic diversity than the human population, limiting the range of phenotypic variations […]
