I am currently a senior post-doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Pierre Drapeau at the Research Center of the University of Montréal Hospital Center. Drapeau’s laboratory has been investigating the fundamental molecular mechanisms involved in the development of the vertebrate central nervous system. The group focuses on neuromuscular diseases such as ALS that represent a model of choice to investigate such developmental processes in a disorderly versus healthy context. In this thriving research environment, I started a new independent field of research in my host laboratory that aims at performing functional genomics of idiopathic epilepsies using zebrafish. I am now actively seeking for an academic position to conduct my epilepsy neuroscience research project using zebrafish as a model. Eventually, my work could pave the way for new therapeutic strategies for these diseases. More particularly, I foresee the use of patient-specific zebrafish models to develop precision medicine. Driven by a desire to fast-track scientific innovation, I also pursued an MBA specialized in Science and Engineering, thus broadening my view of the research industry. I co-founded two biotechs using zebrafish for preclinical studies.
