Profile Summary

During my PhD at the Établissement Français du Sang (Bordeaux, France), I investigated the impact of severe microenvironmental stress—specifically anoxia and aglycemia—on human hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells. This foundational work established my core expertise in how severe environmental cues dictate stem cell fate, survival, and bioenergetic adaptation under extreme metabolic strain. Building on this background in cellular stress responses, I joined Dr. Jordan S. Orange’s laboratory at Columbia University (New York, USA) as a Postdoctoral Researcher, later transitioning with the team to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP, USA). During this international postdoctoral training, I leveraged my expertise in environmental/metabolic adaptation and applied it to immuno-oncology, investigating how immunometabolic and epigenetic rewiring regulates Natural Killer (NK) cell effector functions and cytotoxic responses against cancer. By establishing multi-omic platforms, high-dimensional spectral flow cytometry, and functional bioenergetic assays (e.g., Seahorse extracellular flux analysis), I identified targetable metabolic checkpoints capable of restoring NK cell fitness and reversing exhaustion within restrictive tumor microenvironments. Core Technical & Analytical Skills Laboratory Techniques: High-dimensional flow cytometry, Agilent Seahorse XF bioenergetic profiling (XFe96, XF Pro), primary human immune cell isolation and culture, cellular & molecular biology assays (Western Blot, RNA/DNA extraction, epigenetic profiling). Bioinformatics & Coding: Advanced data analysis and custom visualization in R / RStudio (packages including ggplot2, dplyr, pheatmap, factoextra), multi-omic data integration, ATAC-seq data analysis, and metabolomic workflows. Scientific Writing & Communications: First-author peer-reviewed publications in international high-impact journals, scientific review writing, technical reports, and comprehensive grant proposal writing (fellowship applications, research funding).
