Frontier Leader Seminar
Title: Chlamydia: a prokaryote playing by the eukaryotic rules
Speaker: Agathe Subtil
Affiliation: Institut Pasteur, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), France
Abstract:
Chlamydia are strict intracellular bacteria and grow in a vacuole. Our laboratory focuses on the study of the molecular mechanisms by which they escape host defense mechanisms, and use host resources for their own need. We will discuss how host-pathogen interactions has shaped not only the arsenal of effector proteins the bacteria use to manipulate the host, but also the lipid composition of these microbes.
Agathe Subtil is a team leader at the Institut Pasteur and has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant in July 2011 for the project NUChLEAR .
