Research

The emergence of anticoccidial resistances and the cost of vaccines call for the develoment of new therapeutic and prophylactic strategies for coccidiosis. A better understanding of the cellular and molecular dialogues between the Eimeria parasite and its host will enable us to improve existing control methods.
I am interested in host parasite cell interactions, the physiopathology of Eimeria infection including the immune response and the influence of the microbiota, and in the control of this infection. In order to find natural alternatives, we have developed collaborations with private companies.
