Doctoral assistant at the Bruno Lemaitre Laboratory (http://lemaitrelab.epfl.ch/) and the Bart Deplancke Laboratory (http://deplanckelab.epfl.ch/)

Working on associating genetic variations with quantitative traits by using the Drosophila melanogaster immune response to pathogens as a model system. The systems genetics approach will shed light on the networks involved in the drosophila immune response and on genomic variations that affect it.
