CHEMOTAXIS, OLFACTION MODELLING, MORPHOGENESIS & EMBRYOGENESIS

RESEARCH PROJECTS

I became a researcher in 2008. Since then, my interests have focused on embryonic development. Understanding the mechanisms at work for a functional organism to be generated from the totipotent egg cell. How does the acquisition of a form and an identity enable a specific function? Since 2014, my work has focused on the development of the olfactory sensory organ using the transparency and genetics of the zebrafish embryo combined with multidisciplinary approaches using mathematical modeling (theoretical model), analytical methods quantitative image, data learning and microfluidics (intermediate olfactory model). We are particularly interested in the mechanisms that coordinate morphogenesis (form) and neurogenesis (identity) during the formation of this organ. My research is collaborative, inclusive and multidisciplinary. I am very involved in the development and sharing of an inclusive and multidisciplinary science. We disseminate and share our progress and our questions with the general public thanks to three associations: Femmes & Sciences, Les Chemins Buissonniers and Les Maths en Scène.

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information on research work, sharing with the public or schools as well as other associative activities.
