Biography

After graduating with a PhD in molecular and cellular biology from Institute Curie in Paris, I pursued my career as a Research Fellow in Prof.Anne Donaldson and Dr.Shin-ichiro Hiraga lab.

My current work mainly focuses on understanding how replication fork progresses and stalls using single-molecule methods, such as nanopore sequencing, in the budding yeast model organism. I am particularly interested in the role of Rif1 protein, a major regulator of replication.
