Scientific summary

As an INSERM researcher, I have been working at the Saint-Louis Research Institute (IRSL) in Paris for the past 12 years. I currently develop a project aimed at deciphering the tumor environment of specific subtypes of breast cancer.

Trained as a developmental and cell biologist, my research focuses on cytoskeletal and cell architectures, with the aim of understanding how the cytoskeleton contributes to defining cell identity. My work has involved a variety of experimental models including vertebrate oocytes, stem and stromal cells from hematopoietic niches and now cells from the tumor microenvironment.
