Fascinated by sciences, I became an Agronomist engineer specialized in health and biotechnologies. My decision to focus on molecular biology was the opportunity to travel in France and abroad, with the aim to acquire new knowledge and skills. My passion for biochemistry, health, medicine and "omics" sciences, which has only grown up with years, motivated me to join several teams to broaden my skillset. I had the pleasure to be involved in several projects at the UNSW (Sydney), in a group which aimed at understanding the relationships between lipids, miRNAs and cardiovascular diseases. I also had the chance to be part of the the Infectious Diseases division of Sanofi, where I developed experimental methods for characterizing antibiotics-target interactions. These experiences confronted me to the requirements of researcher and engineer's work, and overall, fed my passion for Life sciences. This led me to complete a PhD at the Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI) which aimed to explore the biological functions of the short open reading frames (sORFs). As a student, I had the opportunity to participate to many trainings, including in innovation and creative thinking, management and oral and written communication.

My involvement in several non-profit organisations, taught me other skills, in particular in communication, teaching and team management. Nevertheless, if you don't success finding me in a laboratory, handling a pipette, or in front of a computer analyzing some data, you will probably find me with horses, being an avid horse rider and passionated by equine sciences!

As I recently graduated as PhD, I am now looking for new challenges! Hence, if after reading this short introduction about me you want to know more about my experiences and future projects, I would like to invite you to contact me, I will be happy to discuss with you.

Waiting for the pleasure to meet you,

Sébastien
