ABOUT
Host-pathogen interactions
Understanding host-pathogen interactions is at the heart of the fight against pathogens involved in infectious diseases (viruses, bacteria).

The studies we conduct focus on one hand on factors of pathogenicity of bacteria and on the other hand on means of response of host organisms. Our projects can be grouped in 2 disciplines which are immunology and microbiology.

Bacteriophages (phages) are the most abundant biological entities on Earth. Yet, these sophisticated bacteria-killing nanomachines remain poorly understood.
What has made them so successful?

RNA viruses are responsible for all emerging infectious diseases (Ebola, Coronaviruses…). Combining multidisciplinary approaches such as biochemistry, enzymology, structural biology and artificial intelligence methods, we aim to dissect fascinating RNA virus replication machineries.

Our objective is to solve the structures of the isolated soluble domains of L and N proteins, and of the L-M and K-L-M-N membrane complexes of T9SS from two bacterial models, by X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM.
