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, […]
Beatrice Jacquelin joined Michaela Müller-Trutwin’s group at Institut Pasteur as a research engineer in 2004. Throughout the years of her graduate (1998-2001) and postdoctoral (2002-2004) training that she performed at The Scripps Research Institute […]
The emergence of discrete cell identities from undifferentiated precursor cells is a central process in development and tissue homeostasis and repair, that when defective is at the basis of many human conditions including cancer […]
After a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Lyon-I in 1995, Dr Aziz El-Amraoui joined the Institut Pasteur (Paris) where resorting to dozen identified deafness genes as entry points has enabled him to […]
My research interests are mainly focused on the structure-function relationships of macromolecules through multidisciplinary approaches. My studies have been concentrated on crucial enzymes belonging to the nucleotide metabolism, in particular nucleoside monophosphate kinases (NMPKs) […]
Intracellular traffic and cell compartmentalization Eukaryotic cells contain extensive internal membranes defining many compartments having each specific functions. However these organelles are constantly moving and reshaping, still retaining their identity. The maintenance of cell […]
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. […]
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 […]
The Parasites and Insect Vectors Department investigates the life cycle of parasites and their vectors. This research addresses global public health concerns and tackles the ongoing need for better prevention, control, and treatment. The department […]
The teams of the department Genomes & Genetics are interested by questions related to gene regulation and evolutionary dynamics, including: Replication fidelity. Quality control of gene expression. Genetic diversity of populations and its impact […]
