I am passionate about genetics and I am keen on studying the fundamental processes that allow cell survival.
At the beginning of 2022 I did my M2 internship in the Unit “Genetics of Macromolecular Interactions” and more precisely in the group “Translation dependent mRNA degradation“. Here I worked on NMD, one of the best studied mRNA surveillance pathway. My work involved Transciptomic assays such as RNA immunoprecipitation followed by RNA sequencing (RIPseq), but also Genetic engineering as cell transformation using Homologous Recombination. Those experiments are realized on the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a model organism genetic studies.
My goal was to continue my study through a PhD, which I believe crucial to develop a strong knowledge on a specific field, as well as developing a good scientific mind and lots of transversal skills.
At this point, I am finishing my first year of PhD. It has been a very rich year during which I learned a lot, scientifically, professionally, and personally.
