I'm very happy to share this paper of mine just published today. Another compelling example that intrinsically disordered regions (in enzymes) do play a functional role and deserve investigation - instead of being removed prior to enzyme characterization. lnkd.in/dch2PtSy

Many thanks to all co-authors and a special thank to Ketty Tamburrini, a very talented previous PhD student of mine whom I co-supervised with Jean-Guy Berrin and who was the recipient of a PhD fellowship from the Institut Microbiologie, Bioénergies, Biotechnologie (IM2B)

This work was mainly carried out at the Laboratoire AFMB and at the BBF Lab - Biodiversité et Biotechnologie Fongiques Voir moins

I'm very happy to share this new paper of mine that is the fruit of the work of Hugo Bost, a very talented PhD student of mine Many thanks to #Agence Innovation Defense and #Aix Marseille University for Hugo's PhD fellowship and to the #ANRS MIE - specific program NIPAH-LISA - for financial support.

From December the 7th to December the 12th I had the privilege to visit Prof Samrat Mukhopadhyay’s lab at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research in Mohali, Penjab, India (IISER Mohali; lnkd.in/gwt6C9bt) in the context of our ongoing collaboration financially supported by CEFIPRA.

I am very glad to announce that today Frank Gondelaud, a previous a post-doc of mine for the past 5 years, has taken up his position as a CNRS Research Engineer, dedicating 50% of his time to my team - "Structural Disorder and Molecular Recognition" - and 50% to the #PBSIM facility at the AFMB lab.

Je suis très heureuse d’annoncer qu’aujourd’hui Frank Gondelaud, post-doc dans mon équipe depuis 5 ans, prend ses fonctions en tant que Ingénieur de Recherche (IR) CNRS avec affectation 50% à mon équipe “Désordre Structural et Reconnaissance Moléculaire” et 50% à la plateforme #PBSIM à l'AFMB.

I’m very happy to share this new article of mine that is the result of years of work in the context of a long-standing collaboration with Sara Vaiana (ASU) thanks to the financial support of the National Institutes of Health. A big thank to all co-workers ! rdcu.be/eJ2Gk

A "community" commentary paper on Open Research Europe. Thanks to all contributors! And a special thank to COST ML4NGP COST Action Alexander Miguel Monzon open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/articles/5-1...

I'm very proud and happy to share our latest paper just published in Protein Science. Many thanks to all contributors - and in particular to Frank Gondelaud - to the #ANR and #FRM for funding, & to the #Eurobiomed competitivity pole for labeling the #ANR #Heniphase project doi.org/10.1002/pro....

Karine Alvarez, Directrice de recherche à l’AFMB, participera aux #JFV2025. Sa présentation portera sur : "La voie d'activation intracellulaire d'un analogue nucléotidique antiviral à large spectre : un outil pour rationaliser la conception de futurs antiviraux." 👩‍🔬

Very happy to share this paper of mine on the molecular mechanisms driving the fibrillation of a viral fibrillogenic protein. Many thanks to all my co-workers and in particular to #SamratMukhopadyay (IISER, Mohali, India) and to #CEFIPRA for financial support. doi.org/10.1002/pro....

Je suis heureuse d’annoncer que le projet collaboratif “STOP1” avec Thierry Desnos (BIAM) a été sélectionné pour financement par l'IM2B (institut-im2b.univ-amu.fr) dans le cadre de l’AAP interdisciplinarité 2024-2025 (institut-im2b.univ-amu.fr/fr/appels-a-...). Un grand merci à l’IM2B!

If you are a PhD student and like protein disorder (or want to learn more), Birthe Kragelund @bbkrage.bsky.social and Kristian Strømgaard are organizing a PhD course on How IDPs work 🧶🧬🧪 Note the cost if you are not at a Danish university. Details: phdcourses.ku.dk/DetailKursus...

Very honoured having been invited to give a talk at the 1st symposium on Protein Didorder, Interactions and Dynamics at the #universityofnamur Many thanks to the organisers @CatherineMichaux@JulienMignon @TanguyLeider
