Yasmine Genolet
Lab technician, Group Fasshauer

I come from Bramois a small village near Sion, in Valais. I am passionate about nature and birds in particular. I did my Bachelor in Biology then I specialized in molecular sciences during my Masters at the University of Lausanne. I now have the pleasure of working in the laboratory of Pr. Dirk Fasshauer as a technician.
