Nathalie Sauvonnet

Nathalie Sauvonnet is a research director at the Institut Pasteur, leading the Tissue Homeostasis group. Her group focuses on human intestinal homeostasis and how this barrier is regulated by extrinsic cues such as gut mechanical forces, microbiota and pathogens (bacteria, viruses or parasites). For that her group developed several intestinal barrier models combining human organoids with organ-on-chip technology.

The Institut Pasteur Paris is a world-wide recognized academic research organization specialised in infections, providing access for a large bacterial collection and hosting state of the art facilities.
