I am the  principal investigator of this research group. I initially trained in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with a PhD in Rennes, France. After a post doc in Gabriel Waksman lab (US and UK), I moved to the ESRF synchrotron as a Staff Scientist in Macromolecular Crystallography. Since 2010, I am CNRS researcher and lead a team at the Unit Molecular Microbiology and Structural Biochemistry in Lyon (CNRS-University of Lyon), France. 

When I am not in the lab you will probably find me near a rugby pitch !

Hello I am a Engineer studying the Helicobacter pylori infection process

Hello, I am an Assistant Professor at the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 passionate about protein engineering, protein interactions and antibody/non antibody scaffolds and of course teaching.

I initially realized a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular biology at the Technologic Institute of Microbiology Bioaster in Lyon, France. Then I began a post-doc at the Tissue Biology and Therapeutic Engineering Laboratory (LBTI) in Dr Catherine Moali’s team where I had the chance to obtained a grant and be trained in cryo-EM at the Oxford Particle Imaging Centre (OPIC, STRUBI). Since 2022, I am an Assistant Professor at the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and I join the Unit Molecular Microbiology and Structural Biochemistry in Lyon (CNRS-University of Lyon), France. I am working on type IV (H.pylori) and type VI (E.coli) secretion system.

Outside the lab, I just can’t stop moving, I love hiking, running, travelling and have pleasant moments with my family and friends

Hello, I am Chloé Dugelay. I am a PhD student and study the T4SS of Brucella. We try to understand how the effectors are selected and translocated into human cells.

Hello, I am an engineer working on Helicobacter pylori type IV secretion system. I'm passionate about antibodies and their different formats, protein engineering and immunotherapy. I enjoy discovering new research projects on a variety of topics and learning as much as I can in lab's manipulation.
I began my studies with a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Corsica Pasquale Paoli. I then continued my studies with a master's degree in infectiology, immunology, vaccinology and biomedicines at the Philippe Maupas Faculty of Pharmacy (Tours).
I was lucky enough to join the team at the end of 2023 as an assistant engineer, and finally obtain the position of engineer at the end of 2024.
Outside the lab, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and traveling!

Hello, I am an engineer working on Francisella type VI secretion system in collaboration with Dr. Thomas Henry (CIRI, Lyon).

Hi, I have just started my PhD in the team. I am also part of Christian Lesterlin laboratory. My project aims at understanding the structure and function of a protein involved in bacterial conjugation.
