Teaching Assistant, Sorbonne University (Paris)
My main research area are focused on :
membrane trafficking
Extra cellular vesicules
Physical properties of membrane
Membrane proteins
Proteins interacting with membranes
My goal in research is to answer to biological question related to membrane and trafficking by using an approach, and a methodology related to physic. I usually use in vitro approach of artificial model membrane to precisely control all the important physical parameters such as membrane tension, membrane composition, salt concentration.
My research center are mostly focused on two main areas:
i). Membrane remodeling during cytokinesis: I focus on the interactions between key proteins (septins and ESCRT complexes) within the intercellular bridge.
ii). Extracellular vesicles (EVs): These cell-derived structures are crucial mediators of intercellular communication, involved in the transport of molecules between cells. I aim to unravel the mechanisms by which EVs are taken up by host cells — likely through fusion with the plasma membrane — and how they are subsequently transported within the cell.
