I studied Chemistry in Heidelberg (Germany) and Montpellier (France) before switching to Biochemistry for my PhD in Bruno Antonny’s Lab in Nice (France). For my thesis under the supervision of Guillaume Drin, I studied in vitro the mechanisms of intracellular lipid transport and how lipid gradients can be built-up throughout the cell. I joined the Roux lab in early 2015 and am now working on the role of lipids in ESCRT-III-mediated membrane deformation.
