Collaborators
Eduardo Rocha
Eduardo Rocha’s team is at the cutting edge of microbial genomics and evolution. He produced bioinformatics tools to identify several types of mobile genetic elements and played a key role in the study of their abundance in bacterial genomes and their effects on bacterial evolution. Professor Le Roux is currently engaged in a project funded by the National Research Agency (ANR) (“RESISTE” 2021-25).
Didier Mazel
Professor Le Roux led a small research group in Didier Mazel’s laboratory from 2004-2008. This laboratory explores off-zonal transfers in bacteria, their mechanisms and their evolutionary impact. Professor Le Roux is now co-supervising a doctoral student (Baptiste Darracq, 2022-25) with Dr Céline Loot, on a subject aimed at characterizing the defense elements against phages in the chromosomal integron of V. cholerae.
Marc Monot
Marc Monot heads the Biomics platform at the Institut Pasteur, a structure dedicated to next-generation sequencing which offers long-read and short-read sequencing technologies. The optimization of the sequencing of a large collection of vibriophages was carried out by them.
Vincent Anthony
Antony helps us with genomics and transcriptomic analyses, particularly on the PICMI project.
Zoë Chaplain
Zoë helps us with outreach and promotion of events by using her graphic designer skills.
