Biography
- Since 2024: CEA research director in the Molecular Assemblies and Genome Integrity team at the Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC).
- 2015 - 2023: CEA researcher in bioinformatics and computational biology in the Molecular Assemblies and Genome Integrity team at I2BC.
- 2013 - 2015: Post-doctoral researcher in the Soeding lab, Gene Center, LMU Munich and Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Goettingen (Germany).
- 2010 - 2013: Ph.D. in structural bioinformatics under the supervision of Raphaël Guerois at CEA Saclay (France). Evolutionary analysis, structural prediction and inhibition of protein-protein interactions.
- 2010 - 2013: Ph.D. student representative to the advisory board of my graduate school, the Interdisciplinary Graduate School for Life Sciences.
- 2008 - 2009: 11-month research project on the computational modelling of the evolution of homomeric protein complexes in Jonathan Doye's research group in Oxford. A model of patchy particle self-assembly using Monte Carlo simulations had been developed in Jon's group. I used a genetic algorithm to model the evolution of systems of patchy particles assembling into homomers. I then investigated the effect of various simulation parameters and studied the evolutionary pathways leading to the formation of tetramers, as well as larger complexes.
- 2007 - 2008: one-year internship in industrial methods engineering at LFB, Les Ulis (France).
- 2007: 4-month research project in organic chemistry at Syngenta in Basel (Switzerland).
