As a passionate doctoral student at Laval University, I am dedicated to pioneering the next generation of antimicrobials, with a particular focus on lipopeptides and bacteriocins. Through innovative chemical synthesis, I strive to enhance their pharmacological properties for greater efficacy. In parallel, my research delves into the fascinating world of microbiology and molecular biology, where I investigate the resistome and virulome of foodborne pathogens like Listeria. By unraveling the complexities of these organisms, I aim to devise strategic approaches to combat multidrug-resistant pathogens, ultimately contributing to safer food systems and improved public health.
