I’ve been a joined PhD student between the Roux lab and the Loewith lab in the Molecular Biology department since September 2013. Previously, I studied Biology and Biochemistry at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan, near Paris, from which I obtained both my Bachelor and Masters degrees. I did one of my Masters internships at the Geneva University, and it turned out to be such a success on both a professional and personal level that I decided to return to do a PhD there.
I am now studying the molecular interplay between the evolutionary-conserved TOR Complex 2 and plasma membrane tension, using the budding yeast as a model organism.
