Some news from the team, since last fall 2018. I’ll start from the most recent :
- I’ve been hosted for 2 weeks (’twas 10 days at the beginning, but a strike from SAS company allowed me to stay a little bit longer) at the Department of Clinical Microbiology of Umeå University (Sweden), in the group of Ass. Pr. M. Bally, thanks to a funding from the TOR program from the Institut Français de Suède. Lots of discussions, visits, experiments, and we hope a long lasting collaboration.
- Lorraine has left the lab last month, and started a new postdoc at the Laboratoire Jean Perrin (Sorbonne Université). Her results in our team are starting to be published. Still under review, but the preprint is online.
- Lucie Lacour (M1, Chemistry, Sorbonne Université) joined the team for a 3 months internship.
- Kaori’s work on the development of microfluidic setups to study plant development is now online, and under review for publication. The preprint is online though, if you want to give a look.
- Lea’s work on a new, more efficient protocol to functionnalize emulsion droplets has been accepted in Langmuir. This work started during her master’s internship here, and was finished during the first months of her PhD.
- A first paper related to our collaborative work with A. Utada and N. Obana (U. Tsukuba) has been published in Microbes and Environnement. It describes the existence of a distinct subpopulation in the WT Alcanivorax Borkumensis.
