I graduated from Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay where I completed a multidisciplinary training in biology, complemented by an MSc in Computational Neuroscience and Neuroengineering at Université Paris-Saclay in France. During my studies, I developed a strong interest in the cellular and circuit mechanisms underlying behavior, combining experimental neuroscience with computational approaches.
Highly interested by neuroglial interactions, I joined the team of Dr. Nathalie Rouach at the Collège de France for my master’s thesis internship, and I am now continuing this work as a PhD candidate. My research focuses on how astrocytes regulate neuronal circuits underlying complex behaviors, including sociability, maternal care and memory. I use an integrative approach combining molecular tools, confocal imaging, in vivo techniques (calcium imaging, electrophysiology, genetic manipulations, behavioral assays), along with computational methods. Ultimately, I aim to uncover how astrocytic networks modulate neural circuit function in both physiological and pathological contexts, such as autism spectrum disorder.
