« I wish I could be as bright as the probes I develop »


Biography                 

"I started studying biology and chemistry at the Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris VI), where I finally graduated in molecular chemistry. I started my PhD at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris in 2004 on the medicinal chemistry of carbohydrates, especially in the synthesis of oligosaccharides. In 2008, I joined Prof. Seeberger's group as a postdoctoral fellow (ETH Zurich and Max Planck Institute Berlin) where I worked on the automated synthesis of Glycocsaminoglycans and on multivalent carbohydrate systems. In 2010, I returned to Paris where I changed the subject of research and started to develop fluorescent probes and nanostructured sensors. In 2013, I was recruited at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) where I currently work at UMR-7021 (Strasbourg) and where I develop fluorescent and fluorogenic tools for bio-imaging."
