Elisabeth MONCAUT
I’m involved in many of the team’s studies (like pseudolysogeny or virulent phages vs. pathogenic bacteria), which involve isolating, cultivating and characterizing virulent or temperate bacteriophages infecting numerous bacterial species such as Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and faecium or, more recently, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (although I I have also worked on Roseburia intestinalis and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii […]
Julien LOSSOUARN
Present position: Research ingeneer at INRAE, DynPhages team, Micalis institute. Key words: Phage genomics, phage-bacteria interactions, and microscopy. Scientific goals: I contribute to a number of studies aimed at better assessing the diversity and the role of phages in different microbial ecosystems, particularly the intestinal microbiota. I am also interested in the use of virulent […]
François LECOINTE
Present position: Researcher at INRAE in the DynPhages team of the Micalis institute. Key words: Bacterial and phage genome dynamic, DNA recombination, double strand breaks repair, prophage induction, genetic and physical interactions. Scientific goals: My scientific project leads to the understanding, at the molecular level, of DNA recombination mechanisms responsible for the genome dynamic in […]

Lionel RIGOTTIER-GOIS
Researcher at INRAE in Jouy-en-Josas for the past 25 years. His research first focused on the human gut microbiota in relation to diet and health in Joël Doré’s team (1999-2004), then on the key genetic determinants in the transition from commensalism to opportunistic pathogenesis of Enterococcus faecalis in Pascale Serror’s team (since 2005). His current […]
Francis REPOILA
Francis Repoila obtained his PhD in molecular genetics from the Université Paul Sabatier (Toulouse, France; 1995). He completed a short postdoctoral training period at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (Baltimore, USA; 1996/97), and was then employed as a research associate at the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, USA; 1998/2001). He was recruited as a […]
