A butterfly peptide to combat resistant fungi
Researchers from the CBM's “NMR of Biomolecules” team have identified the molecular target of ETD151, an antifungal peptide optimized from butterfly defensins. Active against a range of pathogenic fungi, this antifungal peptide thus opens up its full potential in both medicine and agriculture.
Marcin Suskiewicz, winner of funding from the Human Frontier Science Program, a prestigious international organisation
This funding will enable him to continue his work on transcription factors, a fundamental cellular regulation mechanism that is still incompletely understood.

Géraldine Farge is invited by Bertrand Castaing "Post-translational modifications of proteins and DNA repair: structure, function and dynamic. The seminar is entitled "Single molecule observations of mitochondrial DNA compaction"
‘Etonnante Chimie’ (Amazing Chemistry): a CBM chemistry team welcomed secondary school students from Tours
As part of the ‘Etonnante chimie pour un grand oral percutant’ project, the ‘Metal complexes and MRI’ team hosted a class from Tours.
Recruitment of 2 Research Assistants on one-year fixed-term contracts
Most of the teaching will take the form of lectures and practical work on general physics in the Physics degree course, with the research part being carried out at the CBM.
Combination of nanomedicine and biophysics methods to characterize mRNA liposomes
Recent advancements in mRNA-based therapy are gaining momentum through the characterization and optimization of histidylated liposomes, paving the way for versatile and promising therapeutic applications.
The France Bioproduction Congress, a major event in the field of pharmaceutical biomanufacturing, brings together all the players in the sector.
Improved protocol for metabolite extraction and identification of respiratory quinones in extremophilic Archaea grown on mineral materials.
The extraction of organic materials from extremely thermoacidophilic Archaea grown on minerals is a major challenge because of the close interaction between cells and mineral materials. Therefore, we applied an improved protocol to extract lipophilic compounds and performed metabolomics analyses.
