I hold an engineering degree from Ecole Polytechnique and a PhD in applied mathematics from Université Pierre et Marie Curie.

During my  PhD in computational biology at Inria Paris, my main topic was to investigate in-silico the molecular mechanisms behind the resistance of cancer cells to the death ligand TRAIL. To do that, I developped a cell-based (each cell is represented individually) multi-scale (cellular decisions are controlled by biochemical reaction pathways simulated in each cell) approach to model the dynamics of cell populations.

I then moved to Imperial College for a 2.5 years post-doc, where I started to do experiments, investigating physiology of fission yeast at the single-cell level.
