Theses, publications, oral communications
Each year, an admission competition is held to select the thesis topics to be financed or co-financed by EUR UNITEID.
Evaluation of the contribution of clinical metagenomics using 3rd generation sequencing for the identification of emerging viruses
Viral diseases represent a major health risk for both humans and animals. Rapid, robust identification and typing of viral agents is a scientific and medical priority, and calls for «pipelines» that combine
From hosts to pathogens: One Health genomic monitoring of microbiome dynamics related to the bushmeat trade in Africa.
This thesis project explores emerging zoonotic diseases within socio-ecological systems, with a particular focus on bushmeat networks in West Africa. By focusing on the ecological and epidemiological dynamics of two
Study of antibiotic tolerance and persistence mechanisms in enterobacteria
This project directly addresses the threat of emerging infectious diseases by studying antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli strains associated with difficult-to-treat infections. Tolerance and persistence are clinical challenges:
Axonogenesis in pulmonary tuberculosis: characterization of innervation, Schwann cells and their functional roles
Tuberculosis is a priority infectious disease due to its global impact, risk of reactivation and drug resistance. By studying neurological and immune mechanisms, in particular interactions between Schwann cells,
#NEO-I3D | Tomorrow's Epidemics: Are We Ready?
During a training session held in May as part of the e-CARE program at Toulouse University Hospital, Prof. Guillaume Martin-Blondel of the Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases at Toulouse University Hospital and co-coordinator of the research area
From forest to fork: Mapping zoonotic risks in tropical bushmeat systems through a One Health lens
Many infectious diseases that affect humans originate in animals. Understanding where these pathogens circulate and how they can spread to human populations is one of the major challenges facing global health today. My thesis on
