Charlotte Brives
Faire des phages des entités thérapeutiques
Making phages into therapeutic entities
Charlotte Brives is a CNRS Researcher at Centre Emile Durkheim (CED, UMR 5116, CNRS, Sciences Po Bordeaux, University of Bordeaux). Her current work focuses on an anthropology of microbes, in particular on the “microbial turn” in the life sciences, with a view to analyzing human-microbe relations through the prism of biological and biomedical sciences. She is interested in phage therapy, the use of bacteriophage viruses to treat bacterial infections.
The research seminar « Change of scale – Change of nature »
The generalist and interdisciplinary seminar “Change of scale – Change of nature” is organized by the CSI and the Eco-anthropology laboratory of the Natural History Museum by Léo MARIANI (MNHN, Eco-anthropology), Julien BLANC (MNHN, Eco-anthropology), Brice LAURENT (CNRS, CSI) and Jean GOIZAUSKAS (Mines Paris, CSI). Postulating that changes in scale (re)condition the nature of things as well as the observations made of them, this seminar intends to raise the issues of measurement and commensurability, of growth and degrowth.
