Education:

• 2007: Veterinary studies, Lycée Fénelon, Paris, France
• 2010: Bachelor in Cellular Biology and Physiology, Strasbourg, France
• 2011: Master in Cellular and Integrated Neurosciences, Montréal, Canada
• 2012: Master in Cellular and Integrated Neurosciences, Strasbourg, France
• 2016: PhD in Cellular Biology and Pathology, specialized in the nervous system
  • Director: Dr. Parker, University of Montreal, Canada

Research:

• During PhD: Used C. elegans models to understand the role of the immune system in a neurodegenerative disease and to find new active molecules.
• Postdoc: Focused on hematological cancers, investigating the role of MALT1 using different models (C. elegans, mice, and cell culture).
• Current Position: Interested in hematological cancers such as multiple myeloma. Searching for new therapeutics using cell lines, 3D coculture, C. elegans, murine in vivo studies, and human biopsies.
