L2BMS

Our lab explores the chemistry of life at the interface between fundamental research and biotechnological applications

The L2BMS laboratory (Laboratory of Biocatalysis, Biodegradation and Synthetic Metabolism) is part of the Metabolic Genomics research unit, located in Évry-Courcouronnes on the Genopole 2 campus. The unit focuses on exploring microbial biodiversity through genomic and metabolic approaches. Within this framework, our research addresses different aspects of the chemistry of life - from microbiology, including the study of plastic degradation, to biocatalysis, involving the discovery of new enzymes for deconstruction and synthetic applications, as well as the metabolic engineering of bacterial strains for the implementation and optimization of biosynthetic pathways.
