Laboratory of Pathogens and Host Immunity

Research teams

The LPHI teams carry out high-level, fundamental research in a highly interactive environment, using integrated approaches based on cutting-edge techniques in molecular and cellular biology, physiology and biochemistry.

The originality of the LPHI laboratory is to host a team of mathematicians and theoretical physicists who develop integrated approaches at the interface between biology, physics and mathematics.

LPHI is currently composed of 8 research teams:

Cell Biology of Apicomplexan parasites
Molecular approaches for new antimalarial strategies
Plasmodium DNA biology
Genomic approaches to asymptomatic chronic malaria
Computational systems biology
Mechanisms of normal and pathological inflammation
Pathogenesis of chronic infection & therapeutic strategies
Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in
P. falciparum
