In the silence of chromatin, Toxoplasma whispers change. TgSNF2h sculpts the genome - MORC in the backseat. Some genes wake. Others sleep. A dance of nucleosomes shaping space for life parasite stages to unfold. rdcu.be/ehkWp doi.org/10.1038/s41564…

Glad to have contributed to this amazing work out now in EMBO Mol. Medicine! 🎉 Big shoutout to Marie G. Robert & Christopher Swale and HAKIMI Mohamed-Ali ! embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

This one’s deeper and more personal than usual — stepping into new territory and telling a story that matters. I think it is important for us to use our voices for the voiceless. This week take a moment and watch the short film we put together for Patience. It’s out now. Link

Huge congrats Belen Pachano on your PhD! Honored to have shared the journey. Your brilliance shines through your articles — past and future. You’ll be missed, but my lab will always be your home. Come back anytime. You’ve earned every success!

On the cover of EMBO Mol. Medicine 🥳 We reveal new biomarkers to track chronic toxoplasmosis—next stop: better diagnosis and care. 👉 doi.org/10.1038/s44321… Biotech, time to make it real.

Toxoplasma facing career options: 🏃 Tachyzoite (fast life) 😴 Bradyzoite (chronic sleeper) 🙀 Pre-sexual (cat-ready) Spoiler: epigenetics makes the call. Our recent review decodes how chromatin remodelers, TFs& AP2s orchestrate these fates 👇🏽 doi.org/10.1016/j.mib.…

12 novembre à #Grenoble on sera là frérot ✊🏽 pour célébrer notre indignation et nos espoirs

Zeus had his Hydra ⚔️, now Toxoplasma has its own. Meet Hydra: not a monster, but a brand-new protein domain. It multimerizes like crazy & rewrites the chromatin landscape 🧬 in Toxoplasma. Our team and colleagues from EMBL just dropped the preprint 👉 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats Dr. DIAZ MARTIN on a brilliant PhD defense. 🙏 to jury Maryse, Thierry, Matthew, Ludovic & Diego for their sharp eval Shout-out to Alex and Chris for their steady mentorship You made us proud Silvia and I saw the whole galaxy of family pride reflected in your dad’s eyes.

Oh how fantastic evolution is… every day it drops a new plot twist. 🤯🧬 Nature, who coded you?! 🤩 scim.ag/4o4YCe5

So proud of my PhD student Martina Shahinas 🌟 She gave a stellar talk and shared her latest results—still chasing the sexual stages of Toxoplasma. EMBO Conference / LabEx ParaFrap was a success with an amazing speaker lineup on the ☀️Île des Embiez, Côte d’Azur.
