You got me! I dived into academic research by joining the Pharmacist-Scientist Program at Paris Descartes University in 2009 and have not stopped since then.
My research focuses on infectious diseases agents (viruses, bacteria, fungi, and my favourite: parasites). I work on improving diagnostic strategies and pathogen clearance monitoring by using multi-omic approaches. This allows me to study host-pathogen interaction during infection course.
All my publications are linked in the publication tab and available full text upon request.
During my PhD, i worked as a teaching assistant (TA) for the 2nd year Pharmacy program study section and lab classes in analytical chemistry and physic chemistry.
I also thrive in translating my research in the community through outreach events in schools and community centres.
Teaching in various settings and with a diverse body of students fostered my teaching philosophy. My goal is to create an engaging, respectful and empowering learning environment to share my passion and knowledge.
Since 2021, I am the co-leader for the International and Immigrant Women in Science (IWS) chapter in Calgary, Canada. With my co-leader, I provide support, workshops, and resources to our members.
I am particularly involved in Gender equality/Equity issues and contributed to gender equality strategy drafting. Here are four steps I recommend to improve Gender Equality for graduate students and postdocs.
