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 […]

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. […]
