STRASBOURG

En résumé

Recently graduated from Université de Montréal (Montréal) and Université Louis Pasteur (Strasbourg), after a Ph.D mainly performed in the Cell Biology department of UBC (Vancouver), I am currently pursuing my strong interest in cancer progression in Madrid (CNIC, Spain) where I address the importance of stromal microenvironment in tumor progression.

The natural evolution of my career attracts me now to more applied work and I am particularly interested in the development of innovative therapeutic tools for cancer diseases. My autonomy and good organizational skills have allowed me to manage several research projects. As a project leader, I have been able to bring together the appropriate people and define strategies to answer the questions at hand. As shown by my experiences in Montreal, Vancouver and Madrid, I am an open-minded and flexible person, able to adapt to new scientific and cultural environments.

Entreprises

  • Centro Nacional de investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos 3, Madrid, Spain - Chercheur post-doctoral

    2008 - maintenant Sujet de recherche : Caveolin1-dependent tensional homeostasis and extracellular matrix organization promotes tumour cell migration
  • Journal "L'express du Pacifique" - Chroniqueur scientifique

    2004 - 2007 Lors de cette expérience très enrichissante, effectuée lors de mon doctorat à Vancouver, j'étais en charge de la rubrique scientifique du journal francophone de Vancouver, avec pour objectif de relever les curiosités et évènements scientifiques et de les vulgariser pour les rendre accessibles au grand public.
    Un exercice que je rêverais de continuer.
