About
Our research on Bordetella covers the population biology and epidemiology of various Bordetella species, including B. pertussis, the major agent of whooping cough; vaccine improvements; and the impact of vaccination on population evolution. Current research lines include:
(i) Diversity, evolution and transmission of Bordetellae using genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics
(ii) Vaccine-induced and pathogen-induced immunity
(iii) Identification and functional analysis of bacterial determinants of malignant pertussis (most severe infections)
