After a bachelor in biology at the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis (France) I developed a keen interest in plant biology that I refined through multiple internships and lead to obtain a master degree in Plant biology from the University of Montpellier (France).
After a research assistant position in Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory (Singapore) where I developed a new model organism, I moved to the University of Geneva to challenge myself in the biochemistry department.
During my PhD, I tackled the issue of ESCRT-dependent membrane fission and its relationship to membrane tension. I showed how ESCRT-dependent processes could be directly perturbed by changing membrane tension (using osmotic shocks). I developed a method to quantify the volume and area of a cell and link it to its membrane tension in the context of osmotic shocks.
