I did my PhD at the Laboratory of Plant Genome and Development, University of Perpignan in the team of Michel Delseny, where I studied transcriptional regulation of seed development and maturation. Next, I moved to the lab of Jennifer Fletcher, at the Plant Gene Expression Center, UC Berkeley (USA), where I worked as a Post-doctoral Researcher and then as a Research Associate. There, I studied molecular regulation of stem cell fate in Arabidopsis and characterized transcriptional activators that regulate shoot apex activities, such as flowering time and flower development, via interactions with chromatin complexes. This is how I came to get fascinated by epigenetics and chromatin dynamics, for which I believe plant provide great models of study, thanks to their flexible developmental processes. Back to France, I joined the team of Christophe Brugidou for one year, to characterize the silencing supressor of the Rice Yellow Mottle Virus at the Research and Development Institute in Montpellier. I then moved to the University of Grenoble-Alpes on an Associate Professor CNRS Chair for the Biology Department. Hosted by the Biosciences and Biotechnology Institute of Grenoble, I lead the Chromatin Dynamics and Development group since October 2010.
