LAPM

Understand the fundamental mechanisms of the functioning of different micro-organisms (genetic and epigenetic regulation, physiology, metabolism, evolution ...) and their connection to adaptation and pathogenicity. The major organisms studied are bacteria and parasites. We carry out fundamental research in microbiology, evolutionary biology, systems biology, parasitology, cell biology, biochemistry and immunology. Results from fundamental research are compared and applied to organisms and questions of medical and biotechnological interest.
