Anna Mularski obtained her Ph.D. from the School of Chemistry at the University of Melbourne in 2016. Her research focused on studying the interaction of antimicrobial peptides with live bacterial cells using atomic force microscopy. Her post-doctoral work at Institut Cochin, Paris, involved using traction force microscopy to study phagocytosing macrophages. Anna’s current post-doctoral research at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense, focuses on atomic force microscopy studies of annexin-membrane interactions.

Florence Niedergang studied immunology and cell biology. She obtained her Ph.D. in 1997, studying T cell activation at Institut Pasteur. As a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Lausanne, she investigated the role of gut phagocytes in bacterial survival. She joined Institut Cochin (Inserm/ CNRS/ Université Paris Descartes) as a group leader in 2005. She is now director of the ‘Infection, Immunity and Inflammation’ department and scientific director of the IMAG’IC photonic imaging facility of Institut Cochin. Her present work focuses on the mechanisms of internalization and activation of phagocytic cells in normal and pathological conditions such as viral infections leading to bacterial super-infections.
