We have a possibility of funding for refugees from Ukraine as part of our Human Frontiers funded project on flagellar evolution, particularly for people interested in the structural biology or biophysics of flagella. Please spread far and wide or contact me directly.

nature.com/articles/s4146… Our new paper is out Nature Communications! The "hook" is at the base of the rotating flagellum in motile bacteria. Mechanically, the hook is an universal joint: its bending allows the more rigid flagellum to orient in any direction, while rotating. 7CGO 1/6

We are hiring! Open Postdoc and PhD position! Looking for talented physicists and biophysicists! emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR… emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/Doctora…

New preprint! Cells produce and consume voltage and ionic currents. In bacteria, the proton motive force (~100 mV) is generated by respiration complexes, and used by many mechanisms. Among them, two nano-rotary motors: ATP synthase and flagellar motor. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Still two more days left to apply to this position in the group!

Very grateful and humbled to be a 2023 Impulscience laureate. Thank you, Fondation Bettencourt Schueller, and thanks to my team and CBS for the support. Interested in joining the effort to uncover the mechanisms of bacterial biofilm nucleation? Get in touch!

Our paper investigating saliva aerosolization via digital inline holography!
