Activités de recherche

Mes recherches portent sur l’étude du métabolisme spécialisé bactérien en particulier les RiPPs : peptides issus de la voie de biosynthèse ribosomale avec modification post-traductionnelles produits par Sreptomyces. En utilisant des approches peptido-omics basées sur des analyses globales et ciblées par spectrométrie de masse, je souhaite comprendre la régulation de la production de ces peptides et leur rôle physiologique.
