Présentation
I am a researcher in INRAE GenPhySE in Toulouse, France. My research focuses on translational genomics and how to use a variety of omics data, across multiple species to better understand the biological mechanisms underlying traits of interest for livestock (e.g adaptation, resilience ...). After an initial training in population biology and wildlife conservation I pursued a PhD in animal breeding at Wageningen University and AgroParisTech within the framework of EGSABG graduate school which I defended in 2018. From 2018 to 2022 I worked as postdoctoral research for two honeybee genomics project looking at the genetic diversity and genetic determinism of varroa resistance in French honeybees. Between 2023 and 2024 I joined the European project GEroNIMO as postdoctoral researcher working on the evolution and transmission of epigenetic marks through time.
At the end of 2024 I joined the GENESIS team as a permanent researcher.
