Lecturer and researcher in genetics at the University of Toulouse since 1998, I specialise in genetic and molecular studies of proteins involved in bacterial genetic recombination. My technical skills include bacterial genetics, molecular biology, cloning techniques, purification of proteins and DNA, modified or not, and techniques for interactions between molecules, both conventional and single molecules. For the last twenty years, I have been responsible for my own research projects, for which I manage the funding (ANR, Région, charities, etc.).
My twenty years of teaching experience at the University of Toulouse have given me a broad vision of university teaching and a precise understanding of how it is organised. At the University, I'm now in charge of the first year of the Masters in Biotechnology and I'm also in charge of promoting soft mobility.
Today, as part of the 'dynamic genome' team (LMGM-CBI), I am developing a research project on the involvement of Xer recombination in the emergence of antibiotic resistance in the pathogenic bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii.
