Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am a University Academic Fellow (assistant professor for the US folks) at the University of Leeds in the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am developing nanoprobes for single-cell analysis and manipulation with single molecule resolution. After graduating with a PhD from the Grenoble Institute of Technology (FR), I spent 4 years in California working on my tan at NASA Ames (US) and UC Santa Cruz (US) before crossing the pond again to lose my tan at Imperial College London (UK). I then spent two years at Bio Nano Consulting as a Consultant & Project Manager<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I love playing beach volleyball and cooking (I make the best Lasagna this side of the Channel) and I used to surf and practice Krav Maga (with very mediocre results)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research interests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our beauty is in our differences. This is true down to the level of individual molecules that make up our body. I am working with biologists and physicians to understand the deepest difference between healthy cells and diseased cells<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My research plan aims to develop a new platform for single-cell analysis and manipulation to study the dynamic function of individual cells in heterogeneous populations with single-molecule resolution<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
