Publications<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Over the course of my scientific career, I have published more than 230 articles in international journals. Some of them marked important moments in my path: the discovery of new structures, the transition from one technique to another, and the opening of unexpected questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Below is a selected list. These are papers dealing with viruses, toxins, human and bacterial proteins, as well as with ideas such as tensegrity applied to proteins. They are stories of molecules, but also of collaborations, experiments, and insights. <\/span>Selected publications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
