The France Bioproduction Congress, a major event in the field of pharmaceutical biomanufacturing, brings together all the players in the sector.
The antifungal activity of ETD151 defensin is dictated by the presence of glycosphingolipids in the targeted 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.
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.
Will it be possible to soon detect copper by non invasive imaging?
Towards the detection of copper by MRI using bioinspired probes.
Lecture by Anna Steward, artist in residence at ESAD and CBM
Thursday, February 6, 2025 at 4pm at Studium, Hôtel Dupanloup, Orléans
Anna Steward - An artist at CBM.
Anna Steward, winner of the call for applications launched by Studium, ESAD, is welcomed as artist in residence at CBM. Her artistic project “BioQuantum Record - Communicating with the Other” is a speculative project that reimagines communication beyond human-centered concepts of intelligence. How might we establish contact with extraterrestrial micro-organisms?
