Great work by Adélie Lannoy on Brucella abortus, just published in The EMBO Journal www.embopress.org/doi/full/10..... Thanks to fantastic collaborators! An enigmatic, perhaps ancestral, protein complex predicted as a tunnel-like structure between membranes. Crucial for survival in macrophages

Hi everyone! I am thrilled to finally share with you the result of my Ph.D. thesis. In this study, we used genetics and metal quantifications to study the link between iron and copper homeostasis in Caulobacter crescentus. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Another week, another destination, another conference ! This week I had the chance (again) to present my work through a short talk at the #T4SSconference in Nancy 👩🏽‍🔬🇫🇷. I’m grateful to have had great discussions with such amazing people, specially from our Brucella community! @namurxa.bsky.social

Programmed cell death distinguishes N. gonorrhoeae & N. meningitidis from other #Neisseria species. @katyponcin.bsky.social &co identify a horizontally acquired genetic island encoding peptides that drive #autolysis & human cell lysis, aiding colonization & disease 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/4aP2om9

I had the chance to present my data about VirB localisation in Brucella in an incredible place as Cape Town, South Africa 🌊🇿🇦 Thanks to the organizing committee of BMSV2025 for this opportunity and my colleagues for the amazing time we have together🪘#BMSV2025 @namurxa.bsky.social m

Great visit at the Cape Town botanic garden with a nice URBM delegation!... just before the BMSV conference

Congratulations to Adélie Lannoy who presented her Ph.D. public defense about a Mla-Pqi chimeric complex and a two component system, both crucial for Brucella abortus virulence

Exciting work of Pauline and Jean-Yves team at URBM (UNamur)

Goodbye dinner for Lionel, a great labmate for a few months in the Brucella team at URBM. So happy to have such nice colleagues to work with !

We are thrilled to welcome four new researchers to the lab! Thanks to them, we will deepen our knowledge of the molecular biology of the Brucella abortus pathogen. Welcome to the excellent atmosphere of the unit (URBM)! 😀🍫🍻🃏🎳
