Bacteria and Intracellularity (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781683670254)

Pascale Cossart is considered a pioneer in cellular microbiology. Her research has led to new concepts in infection biology as well as in cell biology and fundamental microbiology, including RNA-mediated regulation. Her contributions have been recognized by several international awards and election to several academies, including the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine, and in January 2016 she was named Secrétaire Perpétuel de l'Académie des Sciences, Paris.

Craig R. Roy trained in the laboratory of Stanley Falkow at Stanford University and in the laboratory of Ralph Isberg at Tufts University, and is currently Waldemar Von Zedtwitz Professor of Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunobiology at Yale University. His laboratory uses multidisciplinary approaches to elucidate the mechanisms employed by intracellular pathogens to modulate vesicular transport and the host immune response.

Philippe Sansonetti is professor and head of the Unité de Pathogénie Microbienne Moléculaire at Institut Pasteur in Paris and chair of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases at the Collège de France. Professor Sansonetti is a member of the French Academy of Science, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Royal Society. His investigations concern the pathogenesis of enteric infections, particularly Shigella, including vaccine development and the molecular cross-talk between microbiota and the gut epithelium.
