Biography
I am a postdoc in the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment in Prof. Kevin Fowler's lab. I also work in collaboration with Dr Florencia Camus and Prof Max Reuter.I received my BSc in Biology and Chemistry and my MSc in Neuroscience and Cell Signalling from The University Paris Sud-Saclay.
I then completed my PhD at The University of Edinburgh, in Dr Kirsty Millar's lab, in collaboration with Prof David Price. There, I studied a new mice model of mental illness, mimicking the translocation (1;11), which has been found to segregate with various mental disorders.
