I am currently Professor at Institut Pasteur, head of the Genetics of Biofilms Unit in the Department of Microbiology. For the past 35 years, I investigated the molecular bases of various bacterial processes. I first […]
Born and raised in Madrid (Spain), I moved to Paris to study at the Ecole Normale Supérieure. I earned my PhD in Physiology and Pathophysiology at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie-Paris 6 in 2009. During my […]
The cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria is a complex structure composed of two membranes and a cell wall. The cell wall determines cell shape and protects the cell from bursting due to osmotic pressure. […]
Laetitia is a PhD student from the University Paris VII. She is graduated for a Master degree in Immunology in 2012 at the University Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris. She joined the lab in 2011 for […]
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 […]
For many years, I have been working in the field of host cell interaction with M. tuberculosis, and in immunology of TB. I am especially interested in the innate immune response against bacterial infection. In particular […]
