I completed my BSc in Biology at the Université Pierre & Marie Curie in Paris and the University of Edinburgh in the UK. I then attended the School of Veterinary Medicine in Nantes, where I received my clinical training. Upon completing my training, I moved back to the UK to pursue a Master's of Research (MRes) at the University of Roehampton in London where I wrote a thesis under the supervision of Dr. Julia Lehman and Dr. Colette Berbesque, in collaboration with Dr. Hélène Meunier at the University of Strasbourg. After a short break working as a veterinarian, I started my PhD in 2019 in the Department of Behavioral Ecology at the Georg-August Universität Göttingen in Germany under the supervision of Prof. Julia Ostner and Dr. Oliver Schülke. I am now a postdoctoral researcher in the team of Prof. Noah Snyder-Mackler in the Center of Evolution and Medicine at Arizona State University in the US.

I study how social life influences health and aging. From an evolutionary and comparative perspective, I am interested in how behavior and physiology interact to shape how long—and how well—individuals live. In mammals, and especially in primates, social experiences such as social support, dominance relationships, and ecological conditions can strongly influence physiological systems including hormones, immunity, and organ function. My research investigates the biological mechanisms through which these social environments become embedded in the body and influence lifespan. By studying these processes in non-human primates, I aim to better understand how social experiences shape health and aging, and why inequalities in health and longevity persist.

Doing science, I have the most fun and find purpose when I can share it. I have given scientific talks but also more informal and creative presentations at event such as Pint Of Science and Skype a Scientist. If you want to plan an event, get in touch!
