Identifying new enzyme catalysts for complete biosynthesis of anticancer drug vinblastine

This project focuses on identifying novel enzyme catalysts to complete the biosynthesis of vinblastine, a potent anticancer alkaloid, by sourcing them from diverse plant species that produce dimeric indole alkaloids similar to vinblastine. Vinblastine, a member of the monoterpenoid indole alkaloid (MIA) family, is naturally derived from Catharanthus roseus. While its biosynthetic pathway, consisting of […]

Séjour de recherche à l’École normale supérieure pour le projet de recherche « Filmologie, filmologue. De l’Institut de filmologie de la Sorbonne (1948-1962) aux études cinématographiques contemporaines »

Ce projet vise à redécouvrir l’Institut de filmologie de la Sorbonne (1948-1962), premier centre universitaire en cinéma de l’histoire, caractérisé par son interdisciplinarité, mais qui œuvrait également comme laboratoire incognito des services secrets français. Oublié de nos jours, voire tabou en France, les recherches qui s’y sont déroulées – une tentative d’études quasiment médiatiques mélangeant […]
