Excited to share Wendy Le Mouëllic’s PhD work, now published in @pnas.org!
It reveals that M. tuberculosis depends on inorganic sulfate import to survive inside host cells—fueling essential processes such as redox balance and stress resistance.
Huge congrats to Wendy & colleagues!

After a PhD and two postdocs, I’m very proud to be joining the CNRS as a Chargé de recherche, this is a meaningful milestone. Huge thanks to Claude Bruand, @michaelglickman.bsky.social, and @oneyrolles.bsky.social for their guidance and support. Olivier, let’s turn this into exciting discoveries!

Pleased to highlight a new preprint from the lab. This is the work of my longtime collaborator in the lab Allison Fay, who wanated to create new tools for disocvery biology in mycobacteria, specifically a new sysem for protein localizaton and proximity proteomics.

Thank you, Olivier, for trusting me to carry out this fascinating research. Thanks to all the collaborators! I’m completing the thread with a beautiful movie of dynamic effluxosomes.

Shout-out to @pierredupuy.bsky.social and colleagues!
Excited to share our latest study, where we uncovered a previously unknown bacterial defense system in M. #tuberculosis: effluxosomes — dynamic membrane clusters that coordinate resistance to multiple toxic metals.

Comment la bactérie responsable de la tuberculose survit-elle aux attaques des cellules immunitaires ? 🦠

Excited to share our last study. Huge congrats to Sarah Monard, Arnaud Métais, @gclugo.bsky.social, @chrisverollet.bsky.social and all colleagues!
We have found a mysterious cell type inside TB lung lesions that seems neuron-like but isn't quite a nerve cell.
Let's dive in👇
