PhD, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Joint degree European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) International PhD Programme, Heidelberg, Germany—Joseph Fourier University, Grenoble, France

M.Sc., Cellular and Molecular Biology, Joseph Fourier University, France

Projects:

My research focuses on how DNA waves propagate at the surface of the nucleosomes during a chromatin-remodeling event driven by RSC or other remodelers. I’m also investigating how the actin-related proteins contribute to the remodeling mechanism. To do so, I’m developing new biochemical assays and using single-molecule approaches.
