During my studies as a pharmacist, I chose to follow the path of medical research and took several Masters courses in Rennes and Paris in addition to my training. The double PharmD and PhD degree allows me to combine my pharmaceuticals and scientifics skills to study the absolutely fascinating world of venomous toxins and their medical applications as biotherapies. The partnership with Sanofi enabled me to carry out an applied research project involving peptides derived from venomous toxins that modulate the activity of ion channels and their innovative potential for rare pathologies without current treatment possibilities.
