Biochimie, (2019) doi: 10.1016/j.biochi.2018.12.011. 

Meet us at the poster session and discuss our latest innovations in LPS production for using LPS in vaccine development or in sepsis in vivo models.

LPS-BIOSCIENCES is glad to welcome Tatiana KONDAKOVA, PhD, as the new Vaccine Group Leader.

She obtained her PhD in Cell Biology in the Laboratory of Microbiology Signals and Microenvironment at the University of Rouen, France (2012-2015) in collaboration with the Centre Régional d’Innovation et de Transfert Technologique (CERTAM) by working on airborne bacteria, and specializing in analysis of bacterial membrane lipids. Interested by this topic, she joined the Cronan Lab at the University of Illinois, USA (2016-2018) for studying the regulation of bacterial lipid biosynthesis, using genomics and biochemical tools.
