Hijacking the Peptidoglycan Recycling Pathway of Escherichia coli to Produce Muropeptides
Muropeptides are short peptidoglycan fragments released from the cell wall of bacteria as part of their metabolism or as a result of biological stresses, in which they play a major role in the induction of antibiotic resistance. In order to better understand these processes, we developed a new synthetic approach which combines synthetic biology and glycochemistry to prepare Gram (–) and Gram (+) muropeptides.

Biotechnological production of sialylated solid lipid microparticles as inhibitors of influenza A virus infection
In this publication in collaboration with the CIRI – International Center for Research in Infectiology (UMR Université Lyon 1, Inserm, CNRS and ENS Lyon), we show a new biotechnological approach for the elaboration of sialylated microparticles, capable of luring Influenza viruses, responsible for human flu.
