My projects

I am a bioinformatician who recently completed a post-doctorate on processing exomic data of metastatic breast cancer RH+/HER2-. I previously completed a Ph.D. in bacterial genomics to enable rapid identification of bacterial strains using the Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencer and focusing on the Streptococcus thermophilus species. My professional project is to work in genomics, transcriptomics, and/or metagenomics.

Popularization of sciences

Participation at the 2019 edition of Sciences en Cour[t]s with Nicolas Guillaudeux

Sciences en Cour[t]s is a very short film festival for popular science. We win the public price for our film called "Me, my dog and the others: in search of lost transcripts". This video explains in a simplified way a part of Nicolas's thesis.

Organisation of the 2020 edition of Sciences en Cour[t]s

In addition to the 2019 participation, I take care, with Nicolas Guillaudeux and Raphael Truffet, of the organization of the 2020 Sciences en cour[t]s festival. I notably made the poster for the 2020 year edition below.
