Marc Lecuit, MD, PhD, is a microbiologist and an infectious diseases physician. He is the Director of the Biology of Infection Unit at the Institut Pasteur and Inserm (U1117) and of the Listeria National […]
I am a geneticist, passionate about bacteria and their evolutionary mechanisms. I lead a team working on horizontal gene transfer, recombination, the SOS response and genome architecture. I did my PhD in Genetics, on […]
In the lab, we are focusing on bacterial mechanisms of survival in hostile environments containing sub-lethal antibiotic concentrations. The emergence of antibiotic resistance is increasingly associated with low antibiotic concentrations in the aquatic environment, […]
Paola Minoprio is head of the Trypanosomatids Infectious Processes lab. She received her MSc in Parasitology from The University of Sao Paulo, Brazil and her Ph.D. in Immunology from The University of Paris 6, […]
My work focuses on the interplay between the organisation of genomes arising by the chromosomal interactions of cellular processes and the recombination processes generating adaptive genetic variation. Genetic elements tend to be organized in […]
I have concentrated my past and current work on three main research topics: (i) the genetic history of human populations with distinct modes of subsistence, (ii) the role of admixture in genetic adaptation, and […]
