PhD Student
I completed my bachelor’s degree at the University of Lausanne in 2021. During my bachelor’s studies, I became fascinated by plants and decided to pursue a master’s program in integrative biology in Lausanne. Beyond plants, I also became increasingly interested in biotic relationships. That is why I conducted my first step project in Ian Sander’s lab, where I investigated the impact of soil disturbance on the common mycorrhizal network formed between maize and cassava plants. I then began my master’s project in Philippe’s Reymond lab, attempting to understand the molecular mechanism by which Arabidopsis thaliana responds to insect egg deposition. After an additional year of reflection while working as a research assistant in Philippe Reymond’s lab, I made the decision to continue my academic education. In April 2024, I was excited to join Macarena Marín’s team as a PhD student to work on the microbiota of root nodules in Lotus japonicus.
