“I am a PhD student in Prof. Gräff’s Lab of neuroepigenetics at EPFL. Before discovering neuroscience, I followed all my studies at Paris-Saclay University (Orsay, France), where I obtained a bachelor’s degree in economics, a dual bachelor’s degree in mathematics and computer science and my master’s degree in bioinformatics.
Starting with a fellowship from the French Embassy in London, I got the chance to conduct an internship at EMBL-EBI (Cambridge, UK) investigating different tools to integrate scRNA-seq datasets coming from multiple species. For my master thesis, I began a project under the supervision of Rebecca Toscano Rivalta in the Gräff Lab. During this time, I explored disease-specific chromatin states in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease through snATAC-seq data. This experience was followed by a master valorisation in the lab, where I developed a machine learning pipeline to predict diseased states in cells coming from AD samples.
With the start of my PhD, I will now delve into chromatin and genes modifications of memory consolidation in mice models”
