I am Director of research at INRAE and the head of the PIMs (Pathogen Immunity and Microbiota) team.
My expertise is in the field of host-pathogen interactions. In my team, we characterize on one hand, the effects of the immune response on pathogenic bacteria, and on the other hand we develop innovative strategies to combat bacterial infections based on our knowledge and expertise on bacterial resistance to the host nitrogen immune response. We mainly focus on bacteria of the ESKAPE group (ie, S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginisa, E. coli) for which the WHO has recently pointed an alarming antibio-resistance issue.
My double education as a Biotechnology Engineer and as a researcher ensures the effective implementation of multidisciplinary projects. My work led to 51 international publications, 6 patent applications, over 20 international congresses and various national and international collaborations.
