After the Paper: Starting a new face: from biochemistry to the biology of biofilms
After working with bacterial biofilms as model to understand the evolution of enzymes in complex environments, it was hard to go back to domesticated bacteria. In my new lab we will continue to bridge between biofilms' biology and evolutionary biochemistry.
After the Paper: Unravelling the role of TLR4 in mediating the human dendritic cell activation by filaria
Identification of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) as the crucial regulator of inflammation in human lymphatic filariasis has provoked the conception of TLR-directed therapy against filariasis.
After the Paper: A new life beyond academia
I recently swapped a career in biochemistry for one in the conservation of Nature, In this ‘After the Paper’ blog I summarise some of the background to my journey from the nanometre scale to the macro scale and some current goals and ambitions.
