With Nicolas Mirouze, we propose a multi disciplinary approach (transcriptional regulation, microscopy, biochemistry) in order to characterize the organization, the eventual restructuring and the functions of the actin cytoskeleton in stationary phase. I’m particularly involved in the implementation of several techniques allowing the identification of protein-protein interactions, in situ, in the lab or the department (SPA-TAG, Yeast Two-Hybrid System, Y2H), in order to establish eventual links between cytoskeleton and competence or sporulation. I also do different molecular biology/biochemistry technique to carry out our project. Finally, I participate in the management of some of team’s stocks.
