Lecturer

Actual position and research subject

My research works aim to unravel how microorganisms adapt to fluctuations in their environment (stresses and carbon sources). I explore the physiology and mechanisms of adaptation of Gram positive and negative bacteria as well as pathogenic and commensal yeasts. I use transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomics approaches combined to system biology strategies.
