About
Jean-Yves Matroule is a Researcher at the Namur Research Institute for Life Sciences, affiliated with the Research Unit in Biology of Microorganisms. His work spans microbiology, metal homeostasis, and antimicrobial resistance.
- Doctor of Science, Université de Liège
- Active in research on bacterial copper resistance mechanisms
- Supervisor of multiple PhD projects including those on Caulobacter crescentus and Cupriavidus metallidurans
Research interests focus on bacterial responses to metal stress, particularly copper resistance, chemotaxis, and metalloprotein function. His projects explore bidirectional copper transport, antibiotic-metal coresistance, and biosynthetic applications for radionuclide extraction.
Recent scientific activities include organizing the Annual Meeting of the Namur Research Pole in Infectiology (NaRePI), editorial contributions to Frontiers in Microbiology, and participation in conferences like the 10th International Copper Meeting. He also manages equipment for flow cytometry analysis.
