Topic: IL-33: from its expression in breast cancer to the activation of NK cells.Thesis director: Nathalie Bendriss-VermareMy thesis consist in two main axis, both dealing with IL-33.First, I analyzed its biological effect on NK cell subpopulations, in comparison with other members of the IL-1 family. I worked with blood from healthy donors and breast.

I gave tutorials and pratical works for students in the first cycle of college: Introduction to immunology, Immunotherapies, Immunometabolism. I was also involved in the conception and marking of exams.

Topic: Role of the alarmins LL-37, HMGB1, IL-33 in breast cancer immunosurveillance Supervisors: Nathalie Bendriss-Vermare et Nelly Vey Missions: I analyzed LL-37, HMGB1 and IL-33 expression in different types of samples (breast tumor slices, breast tumor supernatants, breast tumor shred) by different techniques. I also measured plasmacytoïd dentritic.

Topic Identification of genetic events involved in senescence escapeSupervisors: David Vindrieux et David Bernard Mission: The team performed a loss-of-function cenetic screening in a model of oncogene-induced senescence in order to identify molecules involved in senescence escape. My work consists in identifying clones which have escape from senescence.

Topic: LL-37 secretion by neutrophilsSupervisors: Nathalie Bendriss-Vermare et Nelly Vey Mission: I set up activation protocol which allow LL-37 secretion by neutrophils. Then, I optimized the supernatant concentration protocol in the perspective to culture pDC with these supernatants.Skills: Neutrophils purification and activationWestern blotSupernatants.

Topic: Expression of the anti-microbial peptide LL-37 in breast cancerSupervisor: Nathalie Bendriss-Vermare et Nelly Vey Mission: I analyzed LL-37 expression in different types of samples (breast tumor cell lines, neutrophils, breast tumor supernatants).Skills:Tumor cell lines cultureNeutrophils purificationWestern blotELISALiterature reviewScientific.
