Biography

I am in the field of microbiology since 2012, when I started a bachelor degree in microbiology at Université Laval. Afterward, I did a master’s degree in the team of professor Steve Charette. I completed my studies in 2018. Eager to learn, I had the chance to develop many skill during those years, in the laboratory (bacterial virulence and phenotypic tests, biofilms, amoeba culture, microfluidic, PCR, RT-qPCR, SDS-PAGE…) and outside (teaching assistance, scientific vulgarization, redaction…).

As I was interested to stay in the research world and all its stimulating challenges, I currently work as a research assistant in the laboratory of prof. Steve Charette and the one of prof. Christian Landry. In the Landry lab, my job is to keep the lab well organized and to assist Isabelle in her work, so that everything can work smoothly.
