Biography

With a background in molecular bacteriology and atomic force microscopy techniques, I am interested in how bacterial pathogens interact physically with their environments.Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique FRE 3689, Centre d'études d'agents Pathogènes et Biotechnologies pour la Santé, Université de Montpellier, 1919, Route de Mende, 34293, Montpellier, France.
