Biography

After completing high school in Belgium, I began medical studies at Aix-Marseille University. My strong desire to gain a thorough understanding of human biology and its dysfunctions led me to take research classes in addition to my medical ones. At the end of my second year, I was selected for an MD-PhD program organized by École Normale Supérieure (ENS-PSL) in partnership with Curie and Pasteur Institutes. Hence, I moved to Paris, where I completed my undergraduate degree in medicine at Paris Cité University (UPC) and a Master of Science at ENS-PSL.Throughout this journey, I developed a strong interest in cancer cell biology, particularly in the metastatic process. Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer due to its ability to spread at an early stage. Consequently, it represents a highly relevant model for studying the mechanisms underlying metastasis. As a PhD student in biochemistry, I aim to decipher the relationships between the energy metabolism of cancer cells (specifically the phosphocreatine shuttle) and their ability to migrate. By becoming a clinician-scientist, I hope to contribute to our understanding of cancer, the development of novel therapeutic approaches and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
