“Drosophila melanogaster, a genetic model organism to decipher bacterial and fungal infections.”

El laboratorio del Dr. Dominique Ferrandon está interesado en descifrar los mecanismos moleculares que permiten que el hospedador y el patógeno se adapten entre sí, en el modelo de Drosophila:

Host-Pathogen Interactions and Resilience

We aim to decipher the molecular mechanisms allowing a host and a pathogen to adapt each other:

– the host attacking the pathogen (resistance) or defending and repairing itself (resilience)

– the pathogen hijacking the host defences or simply hiding itself, and sometimes attacking the host.

We work from both the host side (drosophila) and the pathogen side (bacteria and fungi).
