Research Director at the CNRS in multidisciplinary sciences, my interests focus on embryonic development. Understanding the mechanisms at work so that a functional organism is generated from the totipotent ovum. How does the acquisition of a form and identity enable a specific function? Since 2014, my work has focused on the development of the olfactory sensory organ using zebrafish embryo transparency and genetics combined with multidisciplinary approaches using mathematical modelling (theoretical model), quantitative image analytical methods, data learning and microfluidics (intermediate olfactory model). We are particularly interested in the mechanisms that coordinate morphogenesis (shape) and neurogenesis (identity) during the formation of this organ. My research is collaborative, inclusive and multidisciplinary. I am very involved in developing and sharing inclusive and multidisciplinary science. We disseminate and share our advances and questions with the general public through three associations: Femmes & Sciences, Les Chemins Buissonniers and Les Maths en Scène.
