Career: After a PhD on the study of the Frataxin protein in the biogenesis of iron-sulfur centers in Escherichia coli (Laboraoire de Chimie Bactérienne, Marseille), Beatrice Roche worked as a post-doc on iron import pathways in Pseudomonas aeruginosa with the objective of using siderophores as antibiotic vectors (UMR 7242, IRESBS, Illkirch). Then she completed a second post-doctoral fellowship focusing on the role of iron in the progression of Salmonella enterica infections using a mouse model (Biozentrum, Basel).
