To thrive and colonize new environments, bacteria must adapt to a variety of physico-chemical stresses. How do bacteria adapt to environmental changes to establish an infection? How do they perceive stresses (such as toxic molecules)? How do they modify their cellular processes and metabolisms to protect themselves? These questions are at the heart of my research activities.

I work on various pathogens: Yersinia pestis (plague agent), Dickeya dadantii (soft rot disease) or Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. (Lyme disease).
