"I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale."

My group works in the field of Molecular Genetics. The objective of our research is to enrich our knowledge about the expression of genes subject to translational control. We study the molecular mechanism(s) responsible for regulating the ribosome function under the influence of nascent polypeptides and cellular metabolites.
