Presentation
The AMI team studies the interactions between pathogens (bacteria and viruses) and the autophagy machinery, including canonical autophagy and Atg8ylation, throughout pathogen life-cycle, from entry into the target cells to replication and cellular homeostasis. This project, which relies on fundamental aspects of the interactions between autophagy-related processes and pathogens, will lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms of infections.
