I recently obtained my PhD at the University of Montpellier (France). I worked on myrmecophagous mammals which only consume ants and/or termites like anteaters, armadillos, pangolins, the aardvark, and aardwolves. I used comparative genomics and metagenomics to understand how these species convergently adapted to this highly specialized diet and focused mainly on deciphering the role of their gut microbiota. I am super interested and involved in science communication actions. I also love hiking, taking photos, and travelling!
Je viens d’obtenir ma thèse à l’université de Montpellier (France). J’ai étudié les mammifères myrmécophages qui ne consomment que des fourmis et/ou des termites comme les fourmiliers, les tatous, les pangolins, l’oryctérope et les protèles. En utilisant des méthodes de métagénomique et génomique comparative, je cherchais à comprendre comment ces espèces se sont adaptées de façon convergente à ce régime alimentaire très spécialisé et je me suis principalement concentrée sur le rôle de leur microbiote intestinal. Je suis très intéressée et impliquée dans des actions de communication scientifique. J’aime aussi faire de la randonnée, prendre des photos et voyager !
