2026-05-10 – Cell Symposium on Host-Microbiome Dynamics, Bruges, Belgium
Konstantinos and Marie-Steph attended the Host-Microbiome Dynamics symposium organized by Cell Press in Bruges, where Konstantinos presented a poster on his PhD work.
2026-05-04 – Manon joins the lab
We welcome Manon Louazon from Polytech Nice Sophia who joined the team for her 4th-year engineering school internship.
2026-04-29 – 20th International p53 Workshop, Toronto, Canada
Sylvain presented our work at the 20th International p53 Workshop held at the SickKids Peter Gilgan Centre for Research & Learning in Toronto. His talk highlighted our group’s latest research on the regulation of p53 by bacteria to the international p53 research community. This fantastic meeting was a great opportunity to get an update on the leading edge of p53 research, exchange ideas with leaders in the field, and strengthen collaborations within the community.
2026-04-20 – New publication out
Our study exploring how microbiota-driven mechanisms contribute to chemotherapy resistance in colorectal cancer is now published in Cell Death & Disease. The work highlights the role of microbiota in regulating p53 via the tumor microenvironment, underscoring the complexity of bacteria-tumor interactions in therapy response.
