Bacillales spores are among the most intriguing life forms: unbelievably resistant, sticky, elusive for our macrophages and sometimes encased in an extravagant balloon-like exosporium. Spores also have an unavoidable impact on our societies. On the one hand, they are the causative agents of fatal diseases such as anthrax and are frequently responsible of food poisoning. […]

I started my post-doctoral project in 2024 and I work on Streptococcus pneumoniae and Bacillus subtilis.
Matteo GERARD

I am Mattéo Gérard, I arrived in the ProCeD team of Micalis on the 1st of December 2023. I started a thesis supervised by Rut Carballido-López, during which I will study interactions between two histidine kinases (HK) GacS and RetS involved in virulence modulation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This Gram-negative bacterium is responsible for healthcare-associated infections, […]

My research projects aim at understanding how living organisms acquire and maintain their shape. For this, I am studying Bacillus subtilis a well-known bacterial model that keep a very constant rod shaped along generations, and in particular how these cells build their envelop, the cell wall. This wall forms a protective, rigid structure outside of […]

Merve Nur TUNÇ

Merve Nur is PhD student in ProCeD lab since 01.11.2021 working on the resistance to the last-resort antibiotic colistin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Development of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains pose a major clinical challenge to infection treatment worldwide. Polymixin E (colistin), carbapenems, and tigecycline alone or in combination therapy have become the last-resort antibiotics for treating […]
