Romain BRIANDET
Biofilms: microbes in society Romain Briandet’s research primarily revolves around the study of microbial biofilms. These complex, three-dimensional communities of microorganisms are prevalent in diverse environments, from industrial settings to the International Space Station. His work aims to understand the formation, structure, and behavior of biofilms, particularly their role in food safety and public health. […]

Yasmine DORGHAMOVA DERGHAM
As a postdoctoral researcher, I am currently involved in a collaborative project between INRAE and an industrial partner. My journey within the B3D team started a few years ago during my PhD research, where I focused on the direct comparison of spatial transcriptional heterogeneity between different Bacillus subtilis biofilm communities in/on different surface-associated multicellular models […]

Virgile GUENEAU
Instead of eliminating biofilms, couldn’t we take advantage of them? I am currently conducting research on the concept of positive biofilms as part of a scientific collaboration between Lallemand Animal Nutrition company and the Micalis Institute. The objective of this partnership is to develop microbial solutions aimed at modulating the microbial ecology of surfaces by […]
Véronique DOUARD
Véronique has been a senior researcher in the team “Food, Gut Microbiota, Brain, and Metabolic Diseases” since 2017. She has been studying the impact of dietary sugars on metabolic disorders and intestinal physiology for over 15 years. After completing her PhD (2001) on the role of lipids in reproduction, she undertook postdoctoral research and later […]

Philippe GERARD
Philippe Gérard is Director of Research and is Head of the research team “Food, Gut Microbiota, Metabolic and Brain Diseases” (AMIPEM) at the MICALIS Institute from 2010. His research focuses primarily on the role of the gut microbiota in metabolic diseases (obesity, diabetes, liver diseases) using germfree animal models and gut microbiota transplant strategies. Since […]
Sylvie RABOT
Sylvie Rabot is currently project leader in the Amipem team on the role of the microbiota-gut-brain axis in brain function and behavior, with a focus on stress responses. She has published some 100 articles in peer-reviewed journals on the role of the gut microbiota in health and disease. At the same time, she has been […]
