Originally from France, I obtained my PhD in the Laboratoire Mixte CNRS/Aventis CropScience (UMR 41) in Lyon, France. During my PhD, I studied the biotinylation of proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana and uncovered the molecular mechanisms behind the compartmentalization of biotin ligase activity in the cell. After completing two post-docs focusing on cell cycle regulation in mammalian cells—at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and at Sanford Burnham Prebys in San Diego—I decided to return to plant science. I joined the Busch lab, where I am now a member of HPI. In this role, I will be designing genetic tools to promote deeper root systems in plants.
