Prof. Michel Treilhou currently works at the Champollion University of Albi. He received his Ph.D. degree in biochemistry and chemistry from the University of Toulouse in 1992 and joined the “Institut de Pharmacologie et de Biologie Structurale” of Toulouse in a mass spectrometry research group. From 1992 to 2003, he worked first on the study of lipid mediators of the inflammatory response in humans, and next on the characterization of the chitooligosaccharides (Nod Factors) involved in symbiotic nitrogen fixation. He was appointed professor at the French Ministry of Agriculture in Toulouse in 2003, where he formed the “Biological Signals and Secondary Metabolites” team. Then, he moved to the Champollion University of Albi in 2005 and formed the “Biochemistry and Toxicology of Bioactive Substances” team. Today, his research focuses on bioactive peptides from ant venom. His skills include knowledge of structure/activity relationships, cytotoxicity, microbiology, mass spectrometry, and proteomics.
