Olivier Moncorgé
Post-doctoral fellow Minibio: After working as the molecular biology group leader in a French biotech company (Aptanomics SA, Lyon) and as an engineer (IE) on HIV-1 translation at the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Lyon, Olivier did his PhD and a 2-year postdoc in Prof. Wendy Barclay’s laboratory, at Imperial College London. Olivier worked on the molecular basis of host range restriction of avian influenza polymerases in mammalian hosts. During his first post-doc, Olivier was part of the European consortium ANTIFLU, aiming at identifying new inhibitors of influenza virus replication. Olivier also studied MX1 protein activity against influenza A virus. Olivier has joined the lab in Feb. 2015, thanks to the support of the ANRS. Contact: +33 4 34 35 94 33; [email protected] |
Rémi Planès
Post-doctoral fellow Minibio: Rémi did his PhD in Toulouse (INSERM U1043, CHU Purpan), under the supervision of Prof. E. Bahraoui. His thesis unravelled the role of HIV-1 Tat protein in TLR4 signalling. Rémi was then awarded a 1-year FRM fellowship to join Dr P. Guermonprez at the Centre for Molecular and Cellular Biology of Inflammation (CMCBI), King’s College London, where he studied the response of human dendritic cells to Plasmodium falciparum-infected red cells. Rémi was recently awarded a 2 year-fellowship by Sidaction to join the Interferon and antiviral restriction Lab and study the physiological role of MX2 and its potential involvement in innate immune signalling. Rémi has joined the lab in Oct. 2015. Contact: +33 4 34 35 94 32; [email protected] |

Boris Bonaventure PhD student Minibio: Boris studied at the ENS of Lyon. After internships at Oxford university and Harvard Medical School, Boris joined the lab for his third Master internship in Feb. 2016. He has obtained the French government MNERT scholarship to do his PhD in the lab and has started in October 2016. Boris is applying powerful, whole-genome CRISPR/Cas9 screens to the identification of new HIV-1 inhibitors. Contact: +33 34 35 94 32; [email protected] |
