Biography
Christophe Sola holds since September 2007 a Full Professorship position in Microbiology at University of Paris-Saclay (UPSay) where he was the Principal Investigator of his research team IGEPE between 2007 and 2019. He is now a senior scientist in an INSERM-University-Paris -Cité Joint Research Unit, named IAME, that stands for “Infection, Antimicrobials, Modeling and Evolution”, working in a lab associated to the French National Research Center Laboratory for Mycobacetriology. His research work focus on Mycobacterium tuberculosis genetic diversity and especially on CRISPR polymorphisms. He was at the origin of the International Spoligotyping Databases created and maintained at the Institut Pasteur, databases that were instrumental in helping to decipher the population structure of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex before the Whole-Genome-Sequence era.
