Francois Schweisguth studied at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris (1983-88) and obtained a PhD in Developmental Biology in 1990 under the supervision of Jean-Antoine Lepesant (IJM, Paris) and Alain Vincent (CBD, Toulouse). He […]
Dr. Gerald Späth currently holds a Research Director position at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, where he directs the Unit ‘Parasitologie moléculaire et Signalisation’ (12 members) and the Department ‘Parasites and Insect Vectors’ (ca. […]
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 […]
From 2001 to 2005 I did my Ph.D at the IGF (Institut of Functional Genomic), in Montpellier, South of France. There I worked on the excellent genetic model, Drosophila melanogaster, for which I characterized […]
Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy allows the determination of secondary and tertiary structures, the analysis of conformational changes and the measure of thermal and chemical stability of folding. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) gives access to […]
Circular dichroism (CD) allows the measurement of secondary and tertiary structures, the analyse of conformational changes, the kinetic of folding and the thermal and chemical stability of folding. Fluorescence spectroscopy gives access to the […]
Analytical Ultracentrifugation gives access to the mass and shape of macromolecules in solution, allowing to evaluate their oligomerization state, their stoichiometry and the equilibrium constant of assemblies. Dynamic Light Scattering (cuvette or microplaque) allows […]
Static Light Scattering allows to measure the mass and intrinsic viscosity of macromolecules Analytical Ultracentrifugation gives access to the oligomerization state and the stoichiometry of molecular assemblies
