Recent news
- In November 2024, I'm co-organizing a CECAM workshop on the dynamics of protein interfaces that will take place at the IBPC in Paris and we kepts slots in the program for contributed talks from young researchers, so don't hesitate to apply !
-
Protéines 2, le carnaval du vivant, the second book derived from the Top of the Prots blog will be published by EDP Sciences on October 6th 2022 !
Inside you'll find 30 new protein stories related to animals (like capybaras, platypus, lamas and others) and also a few chapters about viruses
- On Sept. 22nd 2022 I gave a broad audience talk on proteins (in french) at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie. The video recording is now available on Youtube.
-
Proteines, un voyage au centre de la cellule, the book adaptation of Top of the Prots has been published by EDP Sciences in November 2021 and you can order it in any bookstore !
It's a popularization book about proteins (what else ?).
So if you work on proteins and your friends and family still do not understant what you do, this might be the perfect Christmas gift for them (just saying...)
-
From sept. 2020 till july 2021 I'm a guest researcher in the biomolecular modelling group of Pr. Maria Andra Mroginski at the Technical University Berlin (but you can still contact me using my french email).
-
Since Jan. 2019 I'm writing in Top of the Prots, a popularization blog (in french) that will tell you everything you ever wanted to know (but were afraid to ask) about proteins:

Functional role of disordered segments in proteins
November 2022: I'm co-organizing a Workshop on "ML and AI in structural biology: Looking beyond AlphaFold2/RosettaFold for remaining blindspots", that will take place in Paris. More information can be found here.
October 2017: I'm co-organizing a CECAM workshop on disordered protein segments.
March 2017: Our work on tubulin and the NFL-TBS.40-63 peptide was highlighted by the GENCI during the "Semaine du cerveau" (brain week) (website in french)
-
Proteins mechanical properties on the residue scale, using a coarse-grain representation, relationship between the structure and the biological activity (ProPHet program)
Oct. 2016: ProPHET is now available as an online webserver on the MOBYLE platform, give it a try !
-
Protein-protein interactions, identification of interaction partners via cross-docking simulations (MAXDo program), dynamics of protein interfaces
March 2018: Binding site predictions on the SubHCMD Protein Benchmark resulting from cross-docking simulations can be downloaded as an archive here.
May 2013: You will find extensive information regarding cross-docking of the Mintseris Protein benchmark on the following page.
You can also download a short, updated (July 2025), version of my CV
