Gerald Larrouy-Maumus is a Reader in Molecular Microbiology at Imperial College London, specializing in infectious diseases, particularly human Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). His research focuses on understanding how Mtb survives within host cells using advanced mass spectrometry techniques. He earned his Ph.D. in Toulouse, France, studying the biogenesis of the mycobacterial cell wall, emphasizing the identification of glycosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of crucial polysaccharides. Following this, he conducted post-doctoral research in Toulouse, developing non-peptide-based vaccines with mycobacterial glycolipids and at MRC-NIMR, London, where he worked on functional annotation of orphan enzymes in Mtb and identified novel pathways in lipid catabolism. His current lab at MRC-CMBI employs metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and lipidomics to explore the mechanisms of Mtb's adaptation to various host environments. His research aims to uncover molecular mechanisms that enable Mtb to thrive in hostile conditions within the human body, which is essential for developing new drug targets against resistant bacterial strains.
