Olivier Delumeau strives to understand the role played by protein-protein interactions, as well as their dynamics, in various cellular processes. These interactions are crucial, for example, for signal transduction or the ‘ad hoc’ transcription of genes.
From late 2006 to April 2011, he participated in the European BaSysBio project, a systems biology project applied to Bacillus subtilis, and studied the protein-protein interactions involved in transcription regulation. Protein-protein interactions were identified using the yeast two-hybrid technique, in vivo TAP tag technology combined with mass spectrometry, and in vitro strategies. He is now developing cell-free approaches using B. subtilis.
Short curriculum vitae:
Dr. Olivier Delumeau obtained his PhD in 1999 on the interaction between NAD kinase and calmodulin in tomato at the University of Angers. He then worked as Research Assistant at the University of Oxford (2000-2003) and at the University of Newcastle (2003-2006) on the regulation of the SigB factor in Bacillus subtilis. In November 2006, he joined INRAE Jouy-en-Josas and obtained in 2008 a permanent position as Research Engineer. Since 2015, he works in the SyBER team led by Prof. Matthieu Jules.
