My name is Anne-Sophie and I come from the beautiful countryside of Jura in the East of France. I went to school there surrounded by nature and there my inspiration for biology slowly but steadily rooted in me. After studying life sciences at the University of Besan\u00e7on, I moved to Scotland in 2008 to do my final master placement at the University of Edinburgh Cancer Research Centre. Although my master was oriented towards industry, I got hooked by academic research and decided to stay in Edinburgh to pursue my PhD studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The focus of my PhD research was to understand the interaction of an oncoprotein and a tumour suppressor protein with the same protein kinase, whose function is to serve as a signal intermediary by attaching phosphoryl groups to other proteins, affecting here the ability of the two first proteins to bind to each other. For this I used human cancer cell lines but soon I got interested in understanding things at a molecular level. That is why I joined EMBL Hamburg for my postdoc to learn how to get access to atomic structures using X-rays. But I am still a cell biologist at heart, so I still play with cells that I use as live test tubes to do functional assays. I very much like science for that ability to try to bring answers to biological questions, but the beauty is that it often raises new questions!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":737,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-21317","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\/21317","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\/737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/ells\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
