We are proposing four (!) master internships (M1 or M2) in the group for 2026. Check the details here: flobansept.github.io, and don't hesitate to reach out if interested!

New #preprint! Optimizing microbial intake helps to maintain the gut microbiome diversity 🦠 In this work, we build a model of gut microbial community in which microbes compete for a shared carrying capacity and are regularly replenished through feeding (1/2) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#StandingUpForScience today, and hopefully everyday for many more years to come. In solidarity with my US colleagues, against facism that is already there, at our door, and against the very real threats that linger over French research ✊️

Rendez-vous vendredi 7 mars ⤵️ Rassemblement à Marseille à 12h devant le Museum d'Histoire Naturelle au Palais Longchamp. Toutes les infos ici : www.univ-amu.fr/fr/public/ac...

📢 Mobilisons-nous pour les Sciences le 7 mars ! 🌟 En écho à la journée Stand Up for Science initiée aux États-Unis, Aix Marseille Université, appelle à des actions de mobilisation le 7 mars !

There will be solidarity demonstrations with the US research community all over France this Friday, March 7: standupforscience.fr In Marseille, the demonstration will take place at noon, 12pm, in front of the Natural History Museum at the Palais Longchamps (standupforscience.fr/tous-les-eve...).

#Communiqué 🗞️ Jusqu’au 31 janvier 2025, le CNRS invite le public à participer à une grande consultation nationale en partenariat avec Make.org. Cette initiative inédite vise à recueillir les attentes des Français en matière de sciences. 👉 make.org/FR/consultat... #SciencesPourDemain

Our new paper in #PLOSBiology is out! With Román Zapién-Campos and Arne Traulsen we worked on extracting maximum statistical information from microbiome time series data for parameter inference. Check it out!

It is still time to apply to the two master internships we propose - one around metabolic fitness landscapes, and the other around the role of phages in the gut microbiome. Contact us!

🥳 Today was my first (working) day as a CNRS researcher. Today I feel very grateful for all the mentors, supervisors, teachers and friends who supported me one way or another to get there! 😊 Looking forward to more exciting Science... It looks like a whole career of it 🤩🤩🤩

Scientific seminars are resuming at full speed in the dpt. We'll have two great speakers in September: @florencebansept.bsky.social on Sept 26 to discuss Host-associated microbial communities, and Ahmed Elkoussy on Sept 27 to talk about single cell and spacial genomics data analysis!

We are proposing two master internships in the group for 2025. Check the details here: flobansept.github.io, and don't hesitate to reach out if interested!
