I graduated my PhD in France at the Paris-Saclay University in October 2015, on photoprotection in cyanobacteria. After a two-year postdoc position in Pr. Schneider’s laboratory at the Gutenberg University in Mainz where I was associated with the thylakoid membrane biogenesis thematic, I have been working on the transcription factors controlling lipid metabolism in diatoms in Le Mans. In 2018, I joined Pr. Büchel’s lab in Frankfurt allying light harvesting and diatoms thematic.
Since 2021, I joined the Laboratory “Genomic Analysis of Eukaryotes” (LAGE) leaded by Pr. Wincker to unravel environmental genes function within the framework of the Tara Ocean expedition.
