My scientific story
I joined the Pasteur Institute with a DIM MalInf Fellowship to perform my PhD, under the supervision of Dr. Gerald Spath and co-supervision of Dr. Najma Rachidi, to study the role of protein kinases in Leishmania parasites. During that time, I performed a structure/function analysis of a protein kinase and studied its role in cellular differentiation (see PhD project)
I then joined the laboratory of Prof. Keith Matthews at the University of Edinburgh, with a Marie Curie-Sklodowska Fellowship, to characterise protein kinases implicated in the quorum−sensing differentition of the parasite T. brucei. During this PostDoc, I successfully lead several projects, collaborated and train Honours, Master and PhD students. I developed new enzymatic assays and pipelines to study the role of protein kinases as well as identifying molecular pathways regulating cellular differentiation of the mammalian blood stage of the parasite (see Current projects and Post-doctoral projects)
Since October 2022, I have started a MRC career development position at the University of York to study the regulation and role of autophagy during the differentiation steps of T. brucei life cycle.
