Olivier DELUMEAU

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 […]
Nathalie LAFORGE

Nathalie Laforge joined the SyBER team in 2020, working on the development of methodologies for multiplex genome engineering in Bacillus subtilis. In 2021, she began her PhD under the supervision of Dr. Anne-Gaëlle Planson and Prof. Matthieu Jules, focusing on synthetic consortia. Her goal is to better understand microbial interactions, particularly the division of labor. Within […]

Vincent SAUVEPLANE

Vincent Sauveplane research interest is to decipher the rules driving gene expression in the gram-positive bacterium B. subtilis. His project will complete our knowledge of the biology of B. subtilis and will allow future rational designs of genetic circuits dedicated to biotechnological and synthetic biology applications. To summarize the project, we are interested in building […]
Anne-Gaëlle PLANSON

Anne-Gaëlle Planson’s research interests lie in the field of synthetic biology, with a particular focus on genome engineering, metabolic engineering and the engineering of synthetic consortia. Her projects involve both the construction and optimization of cellular chassis for the production of compounds of industrial and pharmaceutical interest, and the understanding of the fundamental molecular mechanisms […]
Stephen MC GOVERN

Within the SyBER team, Stephen McGovern implements methodological expertise in molecular biology, genetics, and protein biochemistry. His activities specifically involve setting up genetic engineering methods (gene insertion or deletion by lambda red recombination) in synthetic biology projects. He also conducts work aimed at characterizing, both in vivo and in vitro, the composition and functioning of […]
Ingrid ADRIAANS

I am working on in vitro reconstitution assays using biomimetic membranes and the actin homologue MreB from Bacillus subtilis. My focus will be studying the dynamics and biophysical properties of MreB on Supported Lipid Bilayers (SLBs) using TIRF microscopy.
Léa WAGNER

With a passion for biology, Léa Wagner completed a BCPST preparatory course (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Sciences) in Marseille to enter AgroParisTech, a general engineering school in the field of life and environmental sciences and industries. She specialized in biotechnology, microbiology, and molecular biology. After a final internship on synthetic microbial consortia in Bacillus […]
Rut CARBALLIDO LOPEZ

Research Director at INRA, Rut heads the ProCeD team. She also animates the Systems and Synthetic Microbiology (MSS) research pillars and is Deputy-Director of the Micalis Institute. Rut received her PhD from the University of Oxford, UK, where she was instrumental in the landmark discovery that bacteria possess homologues of eukaryotic actin, namely MreB proteins, […]
Cyrille BILLAUDEAU

Our team is investigating the role of the bacterial actin cytoskeleton (MreB) in various fundamental cellular processes, including cell wall biogenesis, but also cell division, competence, viral infection, secretion, … Our research activities mainly focus on the description and understanding of molecular mechanisms and the machineries involved in these different processes to establish a complex […]
