Project Description

I got my Master II in Biotherapies at the University of Evry in 2014. I held teaching positions in secondary school before blossoming by joining the world of research in 2016. I like to get to the bottom of things and look for solutions to problems. That's what I've been doing as a engineer ever since, with passion and determination. With an enriched curriculum in molecular biology and genetic engineering, I have developed an expertise in the development and characterization of eukaryotic study models. In particular, I have developed a model of photoactivatable epithelial cells allowing the study of actin polymerization.

I joined the ProCeD team in October 2020. I discovered with great curiosity the MreB protein, star of the lab and homologue of the eukaryotic actin. Since then, I have been involved in the study of the fields involved in its polymerization.
