Welcome to my professional website.

👋 My research interests concern vector-borne diseases. I aim to use sequencing methods and molecular strategies to develop cost-effective methods to detect arthropod-borne pathogens in a community, or to assess vector population composition, densities and dispersion. I am also studying dynamic traits related to mosquito vectors biology and interaction dynamics between mosquito-borne pathogens and their hosts and to elucidate if a trait related to vector-borne diseases has a genetic basis (and if it does, discover the genetic factors underlying it).

I am open to explore within and beyond these frontiers through collaborations 😃 🚀

Sep 2016 – Present IRBA, Marseille, France

Areas of interest include:

  • Assess dynamic processes related to vector competence or other mosquito-related traits
  • Determine the genetic basis of mosquito vectors related phenotypes
  • Develop innovative mosquito-borne diseases surveillance
  • A lot of other cool stuffs applied to vector borne diseases that can involve genetic, genomic, dynamic data and fancy data visualisation :)
