The Ene Lab is part of the Mycology Department at the Pasteur Institute (Paris, France).

Our work is focused on understanding how fungal cells respond and adapt to drugs. In particular, we study how individual differences between cells can allow Candida populations to escape antifungal inhibition. Antifungal tolerance and heteroresistance have been recently described in fungi and we seek to understand the mechanisms enabling these phenomena. To address these questions, we combine tools in molecular biology, genomics, transcriptomics, and animal models of infections.

Interested in working with us? We are looking for motivated students and postdocs to join our team. To apply, please email Jules .

We currently have a postdoc position on an ANR funded project. Read more about it here.

Iuliana (Jules) Ene

I am currently a CIFAR Global Scholar in the Fungal Kingdom: Threats & Opportunities Program. Previously, I was a Research Assistant Professor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at Brown University. Prior to starting my group at Brown, I did a postdoc with Prof Richard Bennett in the same department. I received my PhD from the University of Aberdeen in 2012, where I worked with Prof Al Brown as part of the Aberdeen Fungal Group (now the MRC Center for Medical Mycology).
