I am Professor of Cell Biology at the Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines/Université Paris-Saclay and Director of Studies at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes/PSL Research University. I received my PhD at the Université Paris Sud – 11 and pursued my research in the Institut Gustave Roussy (Villejuif) and in the Centre de Génétique Moléculaire of the CNRS (Gif-sur-Yvette) before I joined the UVSQ. My research interests are in the field of mitochondrial function and biogenesis, and of cell death processes.
