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.
