I am a pharmacist from Aix-Marseille University in France, my home country. I have also lived in Finland for five years, where I completed a master’s degree in Neuroscience. For my master’s thesis, I focused on studying inflammation in the context of atherosclerosis.

One of my strongest assets is versatility, having gained experience in diverse research areas ranging from vascular research and mitochondrial biology to pro-drug design. This breadth of knowledge, combined with my determination, has made me a fearless researcher. My dual qualifications—a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and a Master of Science degree—equip me with a robust foundation for tackling complex scientific challenges.

Since November 2023, I have been working as a research assistant at the wonderful KMEB, where I am preparing for my PhD project. My research will investigate the effects of Rapamycin on postmenopausal bone loss and accelerated skeletal aging. I will be supervised by Dr. Florence Figeac, PhD and Professor Moustapha Kassem, MD, DMSc.

My research interests lie in lifestyle and pharmacological interventions for healthy aging. Beyond my professional pursuits, I am passionate about optimizing my experience of life by nurturing the body, mind, and spirit. I believe that when creativity, wisdom, and science converge, remarkable discoveries occur.
