Pascale Pescher is a research engineer in the unit ‘Parasitologie moléculaire et signalisation’. She started her career working on host-mycobacteria interactions and since 2006 joined the field of Leishmania research studying the molecular basis […]
Dr. Najma Rachidi is a senior Researcher and the leader of the molecular parasitology team in the PARSIG unit. Her team investigates Host-pathogen interactions to (i) understand how Leishmania survives in immune cells, which […]
Glenda Comai is a CNRS permanent researcher at the Stem Cells and Development Unit. Her current research bridges the developmental biology and stem cells fields with focus on craniofacial muscles. Using 3D-imaging, mouse genetics […]
We are exploring interactions between flaviviruses (Yellow fever, Dengue, Zika and West Nile viruses) and their mammalian and arthropod-hosts. On-going projects focus on deciphering mechanisms underlying virus-induced innate immunity and inflammation, using biochemical, virological […]
Our aim is to characterise stem cells and their daughters during embryonic and postnatal development of skeletal muscle to understand how this tissue is established, and how it regenerates. We are examining the genetic […]
Virus-host ribonucleoprotein complexes and innate immunity The RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) play a major role in sensing intracytoplasmic RNA virus infection to initiate and modulate antiviral immunity. These RNA helicases interact with particular signatures of […]
