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.
