Applied research

  • Transcription factors: development of new assays to identify transcriptional regulators captured by a regulatory sequence. This research includes the study of transcription factors as well as proteomic analyses, for which the laboratory is fully equipped.
  • Feeding and proteomics: long-standing expertise in proteomics. In recent years, this expertise has been applied to the analysis of foodstuffs and animal feeds.
