Temporary Teaching and Research Assistant Professor ("ATER")

PhD at the University of Burgundy.

Master degree in Neurosciences, cognition and behavior, University of Toulouse.

After my Ph.D. thesis at the CSGA on the perception of fatty acids in Drosophila, I've done a postdoctoral fellowship at the Neuroscience Center of Valparaiso (Chile) focusing on the neuropeptidergic regulation of molting, i.e. the renewal of the exoskeleton during growth, in D. melanogaster.

I've then worked at the Institute of Cellular Biology in Tübingen (Germany) on the maturation of the Drosophila exoskeleton and other insect models.

Back at CSGA, I am currently working on an amino acid transporter, Minidiscs, that is expressed in specific areas of the Drosophila brain and in particular in areas involved in associative memory. My project focuses in understanding what memory-related behaviors might involve this transporter and what neural pathways might underlie Minidiscs function. 

I have taught various disciplines of biology and statistical analysis to a variety of audiences, from undergraduates to graduate students.

I am currently teaching undergraduate courses in animal biology and developmental biology.
