  • "Carbohydrate metabolism in trypanosomatids: New insights revealing novel complexity, diversity and species-unique features," 2021, Experimental Parasitology
  • "Slow growing behavior in African trypanosomes during adipose tissue colonization," 2022, Nature Communications
  • "Fatty acid oxidation participates in resistance to nutrient-depleted environments in the insect stages of Trypanosoma cruzi," 2021, PLoS Pathogens
  • "Procyclic trypanosomes recycle glucose catabolites and TCA cycle intermediates to stimulate growth in the presence of physiological amounts of proline," 2021, PLoS Pathogens
  • "The ASCT/SCS cycle fuels mitochondrial ATP and acetate production in Trypanosoma brucei," 2020, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics

Bringaud frequently collaborates with several researchers, with the most frequent co-authors being:

  • Marc Biran
  • Loïc Rivière
  • Erika Pineda
  • Oriana Villafraz
  • Nicolas Plazolles

Their work has been published in a range of scientific venues, predominantly in:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • PLoS Pathogens
