Research axes

In our integrative approach, we bring a new vision of the infectious disease biology, a continuum from the etiological agent study to the host immunity considering the environment and the vectors.

Our Research Axes

the Labex IBEID aims to cover all the research areas in a One Health approach, we defined five major axes to:

 

  • Explore the host diversity and complexity, to understand both in humans and animals the essential factors defending the host and maintaining the balance between tolerance and immune response
  • Explore the host-microbe interactions, to identify novel targets for vaccinology and therapeutics
  • Explore the microbial diversity and complexity, studying all the different kind of etiological agent (viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi) to stay prepared for any new epidemiologic challenge
  • Explore the microbe-vector interactions, to identify new way to contain pathogen dissemination through development of on field diagnostics, microbial competition strategy or vector vaccinology
  • Explore the biology of vectors, to anticipate the next emergence

Transversally, Labex IBEID supports the development of a high-level technological environment constantly updated to ensure that all partners have access to the best equipment.

Adaptation au stress et Métabolisme chez les entérobactéries (SAMe)

We study how a broad range of basic functional processes are modified, and potentially coordinated, to control cellular homeostasis. Our research primarily uses E. coli as a model, but the concepts will also be tested on pathogens such as Salmonella or Shigella. Focusing on two global cellular processes, Fe-S cluster biogenesis and lipid homeostasis, allows us to study the impact of stress on aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, cell envelope homeostasis and membrane, redox changes, nutrient limitation, metabolic stress and antibiotics.
Molecular, biochemical and genetic approaches, as well as cutting-edge technologies (-omics, imaging, single-cell analysis), aim to achieve an integrated and mechanistic vision of the bacterial cell. Multiplying and diversifying the ways of approaching a process is very rewarding, and we collaborate with biochemists, structuralists, chemists, biophysicists, bioinformaticians and phylogeneticists.

Biologie de Synthèse

The Synthetic Biology Group investigates genetic systems that emerge as a result of the arms race between bacteria and bacteriophages, and how these systems can be harnessed as novel biotechnological tools. Bacteriophages, the viruses of bacteria, impose a constant selective pressure on bacteria to evolve resistance mechanisms. The investigation of anti-phage systems has led to the discovery of fascinating molecular mechanisms. Some of these systems, such as restriction-methylation systems and CRISPR-Cas systems, have been harnessed into powerful molecular tools. Our laboratory works both on fundamental aspects of bacteria – phage interactions, and on the development of novel technologies to better study and control bacteria.

Modélisation Mathématique des Maladies Infectieuses

The main research objective of our unit is to develop state-of-the-art statistical and mathematical methods to address these challenges, with the aim to increase the understanding of how pathogens spread in populations, assess the impact of interventions, support policy making and optimize control strategies. Our approach is highly multidisciplinary, looking at infectious diseases through multiple perspectives (epidemiology, statistics, modelling, surveillance, public health, policy making, microbiology), multiple scales (intra-host, person-to-person transmission, spread at the local/national/international level) and multiple data streams (epidemiological, demographic, climatic, genomic, social media). We work closely with public health agencies in France and abroad to ensure our assessments can inform the public health response to epidemics.

Découverte de Pathogènes

Our main objective is to discover, characterize and demonstrate the role of new or unexpected infectious agents in clinical syndromes of unknown or poorly characterized etiology, including agents of zoonoses. Our three main missions are to identify factors that drive virus diversification and host jump, to identify zoonotic viruses and characterize the pathogenicity of viruses infecting humans. We thereby identify and characterize unknown viruses and also uncover unknown links between viruses in humans and animal reservoirs (wildlife, arthropod vectors and parasites). This ultimately leads to a better understanding of the epidemiological, clinical and pathophysiological features of diseases and, when possible, to novel diagnostic tests and targeted therapy.

Pathogenèse des infections vasculaires

We study the pathogenesis of Neisseria meningitidis (or meningococcus), a Gram-negative bacterium that recapitulates these different pathological effects. Outstanding questions in terms of understanding N. meningitidis pathogenesis include: how do bacteria cross the epithelium and reach the bloodstream? How do they survive in the blood? How do they damage vessels and reach the cerebrospinal fluid (i.e. cause septic shock and meningitis)? These questions open broader studies regarding tissue biology, bacterial adaptation to different environments and basic functions of the innate immune system. We address these questions at different scales.

Epigénétique et Génétique Moléculaire

We are interested in discovering and characterizing new mechanisms that organize DNA in the nucleus. We are especially interested in understanding cytogenetic phenomena that apparently involve sequence-specific interactions between intact segments of chromosomal DNA. Such processes are remarkably ubiquitous, yet their molecular nature remains one of the most enigmatic unanswered questions in biology. Current & prospective projects in the lab include (i) discovering molecular factors that recognize repetitive DNA in Neurospora crassa, (ii) elucidating the mechanism of recruitment of DIM-5 to repetitive DNA in N. crassa, (iii) further understanding the DNA homology requirements for RIP and MSUD in N. crassa, (iv) using a range of imaging techniques to characterize the state of chromatin in the premeiotic nuclei of N. crassa, and (v) dissecting the role of heterochromatin during the invasive growth of the human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus.

Microbiote des Insectes Vecteurs

Our laboratory is based at the Institut Pasteur of Guyana. We are interested in the microbes naturally present in the mosquito’s organs (microbiota) and their influence on the mosquito. In particular, we study how the microbiota affects the mosquito’s ability to transmit diseases, particularly malaria.
We focus on the Anopheles darlingi mosquito, the main vector of malaria in the Americas region, which is still very poorly characterized despite its importance to public health.

Interactions Virus-Insectes

Our lab investigates the ecology, evolution and genetics of insect-virus interactions to advance our basic understanding of arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) transmission by mosquitoes

Why is there variation in the ability of mosquitoes to transmit human pathogens and what causes this variation? Our research addresses these questions using the tools of genomics, quantitative genetics, and evolutionary ecology. Our primary study system is the transmission of dengue and Zika viruses by the mosquito Aedes aegypti. A major emphasis of the lab is to develop experimental approaches that account for the complexity of natural systems, where genetically diverse populations of mosquitoes interact with a wide variety of viruses, in a variable environment.

G5 Groupe de recherche junior

Individualité Microbienne et Infection

The group is primarily focused on tuberculosis, one of the deadliest human infections and a major a global health emergency . The causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is an airborne slow growing microorganism (about 24 hours optimal generation time), which has established a robust association with its host over the course of coevolution. Our group is interested in investigating the molecular basis and the effects of cell-to-cell phenotypic heterogeneity. Is phenotypic heterogeneity crucial to modulate mycobacterial fitness and adaptation during infection? Is there any significant interplay among distinct subpopulations? What is the impact of the microenvironments towards mycobacterial diversification? To answer these and associated questions, we employ a multidisciplinary approach. We use on the one hand classical genetics and conventional microbiology and cell biology assays, and on the other hand single-cell techniques, including FACS and real-time epifluorescent microscopy in combination with custom-built microfluidic systems.

Laboratoire de Santé Animale - Virologie

This Joint Research Unit investigates zoonotic or epizootic virus of major human and veterinary public health importance. The scientific strategy includes fundamental questions regarding the biology of viral agents but also applied research on epidemiology, vaccinology and mechanisms of interactions between virus and host cell. As example, this unit evaluates original diagnostic tools for epidemiological surveillance and phylogenic studies of animal viruses. Special focuses are made on orbivirus, picornaviruses, neurovirology of zoonoses, enteric viruses, species barriers, adenovirus-derived vectors and Vaccines.

Technology Program

Today, developing a science of excellence requires the best means to detect, quantify, and analyze various sets of samples or data. Labex IBEID supports the development of the best technological environment for all our partners.

  • Microscopy Platform - Stellaris 8

  • Mass Spectrometry Platform - Orbitrap Exploris 480

Microscopy Platform - Stellaris 8

The Stellaris 8 Falcon scanning confocal system (Leica Gmbh) is a state-of-the-art scanning confocal microscope. Coupled with innovative modules, the device provides access to a wealth of information about biological samples, including host-pathogen interactions and cellular environments, which were previously only accessible to experienced practitioners of this technique. The system benefits from advancements in the industry in extending both the light source and detectors into the infrared range. This not only allows light to penetrate deeper into the sample but also enables scientists to expand the possibilities of fluorescence labeling and multiplexing, thereby harnessing the latest developments in fluorescent probes.

This system is also equipped with more complex imaging modalities such as Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) and Fluorescence Correlative Spectroscopy (FCS), which enable functional imaging. The capabilities offered by this system, as well as its ergonomic design, provide access to a modality that was previously reserved for experts. With this new tool, scientists can now better quantify host-pathogen interactions and gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms, thereby identifying appropriate treatments to counteract them.

This equipment is available thanks to the support of the Labex IBEID within the Photonics Bioimaging Platform (UTechS PBI) at the Pasteur Institute. Find all the information:

Mass Spectrometry Platform - Orbitrap Exploris 480

The Orbitrap Exploris 480 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany) comprises an atmospheric pressure ionization (API) ion source interfaced to a radiofrequency ion funnel via a high-capacity transfer tube (HCTT), a quadrupole mass filter, a C-trap, an ion-routing multipole (IRM), and an ultra-high-field Orbitrap mass analyzer. Ions are generated at atmospheric pressure (in this work, in a micro-electrospray ion source), pass through the HCTT to the ion funnel as described in Martins et al., then via a flat pole for selective mass injection as described in Scheltema et al., in a curved flat mast.
