Being very curious by character, I early on developed a strong interest in natural sciences, particular in chemistry and biology. In biology at school, I enjoyed the way we had to solve problems like small police investigations rather than learning knowledge by heart. In chemistry, I really liked the \u201ccooking aspects\u201d such as following the cookbook and mixing ingredients followed by observing changes in color, smell, texture, etc. Now as a biochemist still feel like a cuisine chef who adds their own personal touch to established protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of my secondary education, I opted naturally for university studies in Biology. I completed my masters studies in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Montpellier, after spending a few months in a lab in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, thanks to the ERASMUS program. After that I decided to pursue my training in basic research doing a PhD in a structural biology lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After four years of post-doc at EMBL-Hamburg, I became a research scientist in the same lab. My main focus is on gene transcription. I am particularly interested in how biological molecules such as proteins and DNA interact and cooperate during this fascinating biological process.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":918,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-21299","ambassadors","type-ambassadors","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country-france"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/ells\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ambassadors\/21299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/ells\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ambassadors"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/ells\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ambassadors"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/ells\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/ells\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
