I am a cytogeneticist (postgraduate-trained in France) and a bioengineer by training, with experience in cloning, interspecies gene transfer, immortalized cell lines, and synthetic biology in the United States, as well as a patent pending in protein design. More recently, I have expanded my work toward cytogenetics in primatology and skull reconstruction.
Holder of dual citizenship, with a third nationality currently pending through exceptional naturalisation, I have worked and studied across Canada, the United States, and Europe (France, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom), including a period in Silicon Valley under an O-category U.S. visa.
My work is guided by a single question: How does form emerge, transform, break, and rebuild itself — from the particles that compose DNA to the biological structures that must adapt to microgravity?
This approach is structured around six integrated pillars:
Origin — evolution and the chemistry of life
Coding — genetics and cytogenetics
Transformation — primatology and bioarchaeology
Materialization — 3D technologies, AI, and scientific sculpture
Repair — orthotics, prosthetics, and anatomical design
Extreme Adaptation — space medicine, microgravity physiology, and exobiology
Over the past thirty years, I have continuously pursued my education while building connections across these fields. This path has led me to train at CERN, the Musée de l’Homme, the Institut Pasteur, the Stanford Center for Professional Development, the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, and medical school, alongside an international career.
My children were homeschooled for seven years, which meant teaching every subject myself while navigating different educational, cultural, and administrative systems from one country to another.
In the course of my research, I have identified numerical invariants spanning stellar chemistry and amino acid architecture, with potential applications for modeling the emergence and evolution of biological structures. I have also designed and simulated de novo proteins.
