I worked under the mentorship of Professors Gerald B. Pier and David Skurnik. During this year, when he devoted himself exclusively to research, he was able to understand the American research funding system. Although he discovered funding through various NIH grants, he was not directly involved.

In 2017, Thomas went back for another 2 months on a temporary mission in the laboratory of Professor Gerald B. Pier. He had a research project, in collaboration with David Skurnik and, which fit perfectly with the future integration of Professor de Champs' EA 4697 unit with the Inserm UMR-S 903 unit. He is working to understand how antibiotic-resistant bacteria can be more virulent against the respiratory epithelium in order to be able to propose new therapeutic avenues and overcome the dead ends of the treatments to which these bacteria are resistant.
