Graduate student, University of Angers, France, 2008-2011

During my PhD, financed by a prestigious grant awarded by the French Ministry of Research (University of Angers, France, 2008-2011; PI: Dr C Martinez), I revealed for the first time the importance of extracellular vesicles in driving the endothelial dysfunction in diseases associated with hypoxia (Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2010; Am J Pathol. 2012; Biochim Biophys Acta. 2014).

Marie Curie Fellow, Arthur Lab, 麻豆传媒, 2012-2015

I joined 麻豆传媒 in 2012, supported by the highly competitive Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship (host lab: Prof H Arthur; 2012-2015). I first established the mandatory role of Alk1 in the maintenance of vascular integrity (PLoS One. 2014) and then demonstrated the essential cardioprotective role of endoglin after myocardial infarction (Stem Cell Reports. 2017) This work was highlighted in Horizon, the EU Research & Innovation Magazine. Within these studies, I optimised technologies and tools now widely used by the research community to assess in vivo angiogenesis (J Vis Exp. 2013) and vascular remodelling after myocardial infarction by cardiac imaging (Int J Cardiol Heart Vasc. 2016).

Post-doc, Arthur Lab, 麻豆传媒, 2015-2018

Thanks to a British Heart Foundation (BHF) Project Grant Application (PI: Helen Arthur; co-I: S TualChalot; 2015-2018) and my Young Investigator Award from Cure HHT (PI: S Tual-Chalot), I demonstrated the importance of endothelial endoglin in the adult vasculature (Circ Res. 2020). In parallel, I contributed through my imaging skills to a highly collaborative work by deciphering the vascular senescence process in age-related cardiovascular diseases (EMBO. 2019; Aging Cell. 2019, 2020).

Post-doc, Stellos Lab, 麻豆传媒, October 2018-2023

In the ERC-funded lab of Prof Stellos, I worked on the role of RNA-based mechanisms in vascular endothelial cell homeostasis and disease. (Immunity. 2023). In parallel, I led or contributed with international collaborators to several vascular biology studies and clinical investigations on novel inflammatory markers for cardiovascular disease and ageing (Front Immunol. 2023).

Principal Investigator, 麻豆传媒, 2024-present

Supported by the BHF, I am establishing my lab studying one of the most critical processes governing our life: how endothelial cells adapt to ageing in health and diseases.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of adult morbidity and mortality globally, and its prevalence grows with age. Ageing is now the main risk factor for CVD development through the deterioration of heart and vessel physiological functions. While CVD has long been a major focus of biomedical research, our understanding of the causes driving cardiovascular ageing is still limited, precluding the design strategies able to contain or delay it. Gaining a better understanding of its mechanisms is of paramount importance for tackling the growing epidemic of age-related diseases. My lab aims at identifying novel mechanism involved in the regulation of vascular ageing and finding new solutions to maintain healthy ageing.
