Paul Briaud
About Paul
I graduated from my bachelor's degree in biology in Tours, France, and I decided to pursue my university course with a master's degree in Infectious Diseases (ICMVAT). I had the opportunity to conduct my first research project on Streptococcus agalactiae during my master's degree, and I decided to embark on a Ph.D. program in Lyon, France, at the CIRI International Center for Infectious Disease Research (Centre International de Recherche en Infectiologie). I was extremely enthusiastic about my research topic, which focused on the interaction between Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis lungs.
After successfully graduating, I continued my research on S.aureus small RNA at Ohio University in Dr. Carroll's lab for 3 years. I then joined the Whiteley lab to further my research on sRNA in S. aureus. I now live in Newnan, Ga with my extremely talented artist wife, our two daughters, two cats, one gecko (more like a puppy than a gecko), and I've lost track of the number of fish we have. I love photography and astrophotography, cooking, hiking, rugby and football (the one that is played with feet, aka soccer).

Research Interests
I am particularly interested in deciphering how Staphylococcus aureus regulates its virulence through small RNAs. Small RNAs are an underappreciated mechanism of post-transcriptional regulation that allows for fine control of gene expression. I am focused on the involvement of those sRNAs expressed in vivo and their importance during the pathogenesis process. I use S. aureus clinical isolates from patients as well as in vitro conditions mimicking the infectious site. Overall, I seek to unravel sRNAs expressed in vivo and their role in the pathogenesis process of S. aureus.
