I am a cell biologist. After completing my PhD in the lab of Guillaume Duménil at the Institut Pasteur where I studied the cellular mechanisms of meningococcus-induced plasma membrane remodeling in human endothelial cells, I joined the lab of Dyche Mullins at the University of California, San Francisco, where I studied the mechanisms and evolution of cell motility and chromosome segregation in hyperthermophilic archaea.

Currently part of the ARCHAEA.bio and Archaea Power Hour committees. Former Simons fellow of the Life Sciences Research Foundation.
