Biography

I was born with a curiosity for the world that surrounds us. I chose to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Cellular Biology and Physiology at University of Lille, France, eager to be part of the scientific research community. There, I discovered the wide world of what computers could do in biology. I then pursued a Master’s degree in Cellular Biology, Physiology and Bioinformatics at Sorbonne University, France. During this time, I did two internships in the Landry Lab, and I am now happy to pursue a PhD here among wonderful lab members.

Research interests

I work on antifungal resistance. During my first internship, I started with analysis of sequencing data for the transcription factor Pdr1 with Jessica Jann. During my second internship, I worked with Hans Carolus and Patrick Lagüe to run 3D trajectory simulations of the glucan synthase Fks1.

I now strive to be able to work on both experiments and bioinformatics. My PhD project continues on Fks1 and epistasis. It is a great antifungal target, and I will use saturation mutagenesis and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the molecular mechanisms of epistasis in Fks1-mediated resistance.
