Hi! I’m a Crafoord Foundation sponsored post-doctoral fellow at the Biology Department in Courtney Stairs’ lab.
I did my PhD in Paris at the National Museum of National History and was recently awarded the 2021 Best Parasitology Thesis Award in France from the French Society of Parasitology.
During my PhD in Paris at the National Museum of Natural History, I characterised the genome of gregarines, non-model apicomplexan parasite protists. My main objective was to assess the extent of diversity in these lineages through comparative genomic analysis.
I was also interested in the question of motility in apicomplexans as part of their interaction with the host cell. I have been invited to give an online seminar (in french) on December 13th to further describe my PhD work.
I am fascinated by eukaryotic microorganisms and aspire to explore their diversity and importance in the living world. Here in Lund within Courtney’s team, I still study protists, this time focusing on their relationships with prokaryotes in anoxic environments using culture-dependant and culture-independent metagenomics analysis.
