Profile Summary

I am an experienced cell and developmental biologist with an expertise on live cell microscopy techniques. I hold a Ph.D. from Université de Montréal, where I developed strong skills on oocyte and embryo micromanipulation and live cell confocal microscopy, and I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at McGill University, where I'm using genome editing in mammalian culture cell lines and high-throughout live cell microscopy. Proven capacity for executing live cell microscopy experiments using mammalian cell lines as well as with sensitive and hard-to-image samples such as mouse oocytes and embryos. I have over 10 years of experience in scientific writing with a demonstrated ability to publish in highly reputable journals such as Nature Communications, PNAS and Current Biology. I am passionate about science and excited to use my expertise to help you with your microscopy experiments or your papers/grants/reports!
