Supervisors :

We are extremely grateful for our AMAZING supervisors without whom we wouldn’t have gotten so far!

They not only helps us for the fundraising in term of sharing our HelloAsso page (a crowdfunding platform) among their colleagues and social networks, but also helped us get funds from one of our school department.

They were readily available for any advice on our projects, and constantly reminded us of deadlines.

They also reached among their network and beyond whenever there was a scientific question that was not in their expertise area, or for bacteria we needed.

On top of all of this they provided us with any material they could for our labs (cones, reagents, restrictions enzymes, buffers, medium prep necessary, gloves, wipes…). Dr. Peronnet even allowed us to use the nanodrop in her lab and to performed transformation with their competent DH5α for ligated DNA samples.

They were there from the beginning and have been extremely resourceful and helpful and for that we would like to thank them again and again.

General Support :

We obtained our strains from the German lab, the lab, Dr. and the IONIS team for competent E. coli DH5α to whom we are all grateful.

We would also like to thank all of our sponsors especially the UPMC FSIE and the BMC department from UPMC and its director Mrs. Sophie Louvet-Vallee, Servier, and the FSDIE of UPEC for their significant financial support.

We also want to thank everyone who supported us on the HelloAsso page, and as promised here’s the list of the one who provided us with more that … euros

We also would like to thank all professors who helped us with all questions we had, especially Dr. Delmas for attending our group meetings and giving us feedback concerning our project. We also would like to everyone who accepted to be interviewed by us, and or who took part in our surveys.
