Graduated from Montpellier University (France) in 2000 with a Research Master in Molecular Parasitology (Montpellier, France), I worked in Parasitology Laboratory of Prof. DEDET for 4 years (Montpellier, France). Then I joined , as Assistant Professor, the team directed by Prof ALZIARI in the GReD Laboratory (Clermont-Ferrand, France) during 2004 to 2018. During these 14 years, my research activities were focused on the study of mitochondrial DNA repair mechanisms in cancer models. Since 2018, I joined the the team of Pr. Ph. Michaud (Institut Pascal, Clermont-Ferrand, France) to develop molecular research on the mechanisms involved in Exopolysaccharides (EPS) synthesis from plants, algae, and other microorganisms. In this context, I focus my research activity on the identification of genes involved in EPS production and the identification and characterization of enzymes degrading EPS, by both Genomic, genetic engineering, and functional approaches. I also contribute to the identification of new EPS produced from microorganisms and the characterization of their structural and biological activities.
