Distributed Biological Circuits in Synthetic Phage-Bacterial Systems
Inès Doublier won the “Three Minutes Thesis” at the Université Paris-Saclay.
Inès Doublier was selected, along with 13 other candidates, to take part in the local grand final 2025 of “Three Minutes Thesis (3MT)” (“Ma Thèse en 180 secondes (MT180)”) at the Université Paris-Saclay. During this unique event, doctoral students had three minutes to present their thesis topic in an accessible and engaging way to the […]

A method for the quantification of membrane fluidity in bacteria
Membrane fluidity is a critical element in bacterial phenotype: it is the parameter that governs the rate of diffusion of membrane proteins. The fluidity of a membrane is modulated by the physical parameters of its environment, first and foremost by temperature: when the temperature drops, so does the fluidity of a membrane. In response to […]
Organisation of MreB protein protofilaments in Gram-positive bacteria
First observation by electron microscopy of pairs of organised protofilaments and first three-dimensional structure of the bacterial homologue of MreB actin from a Gram-positive bacterium Research into eukaryotic actin has historically focused on elucidating structure-function relationships from in vitro studies. However, purification of the prokaryotic actin MreB has proved particularly difficult, thwarting efforts to carry […]
