Hannu Myllykallio is a CNRS research director and head of the research topic “Mécanismes moléculaires de l'adaptation microbienne'' at LOB* at École Polytechnique. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, studying biological energy conversion in photosynthetic bacteria, followed by postdoctoral research on microbial DNA replication and repair in the Paris region. He uses a wide range of computational and experimental methods to understand molecular mechanisms underpinning antimicrobial resistance and genome stability in prokaryotic cells.
