Fresh from her presentation at the 13th Bordeaux RNA Club Symposium on the mode of action of the odilorhabdin class of antibiotics, Arunima presented her work (performed jointly with fellow PhD student Dorian) at the 14th SifrARN meeting in Rennes... and won the prize for best oral presentation. Congratulations once again Arunima!

Arunima participated in the 13th Bordeaux RNA Club Symposium and presented a talk on our ongoing work on how odilorhabdins inhibit bacterial translation. She also won the 2026 Young Researchers Award for the best oral presentation, sponsored by the SFBBM. Congratulations Arunima!

Fanny, our cryo-EM specialist, recently organized a practical workshop on cryo-electron microscopy at the IECB. This marks the second time she's brought this workshop to life in just a few years. The workshop gave participants the chance to get hands-on experience with cryo-EM techniques, from sample preparation to data collection, guided by Fanny's and her colleagues Robin Anger's and Axel Siroy's combined expertise in the field. Building on the success of the first edition,

Scientific meetings and academic events offer a unique platform for researchers to share their work, gain feedback, and build professional networks. Among these events, the Microbiology Day and the Life Sciences and Health Doctoral School Day stand out as important gatherings for Nouvelle Aquitaine and Bordeaux researchers. This year, Lélaud distinguished herself by winning two awards: the prize for best talk at the Microbiology Day and a poster prize at the Doctoral School

We're delighted to announce that Michaela Novotná has rejoined our lab — and this time, for good (or at least for the duration of a very exciting project)! Michaela had already spent 9 months in our group during her PhD at Charles University and the Czech Academy of Sciences, where she worked in the lab of Gabriela Balíková-Novotná. That visit left a strong impression, and we're thrilled she's chosen to come back. This time, Michaela joins us to work on a newly ANR-funded pro
