Laboratory of Pathogens and Host Immunity (LPHI)
The research carried out by the LPHI teams aims to provide new insights into the study of biological membranes, particularly during parasitic (malaria, toxoplasmosis), bacterial (tuberculosis, salmonellosis, staphylococcal infections) and viral (antiviral defenses) infectious processes.
The LPHI unit focuses on high-quality, innovative basic research in the field of biology. Research is based on integrated approaches involving genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology and in vitro and in vivo cell biology.
The laboratory collaborates with chemists and houses a team of theorists, physicists and mathematicians, to combine biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics in global or targeted multidisciplinary approaches to the biological processes studied.
