I am a trained pharmacist with a Ph.D. in Translational Medicine driven by a deep curiosity to uncover the unknown and a passion for transforming scientific discoveries into practice to improve disease treatment. Over the past years, my research has focused on biological links between mammary development and breast cancer to better understand the concept of “development gone awry” in cancer. In Dr. Joan Massagué’s laboratory,  I am currently exploring the dynamic interactions between cancer cells and the surrounding stroma to better understand how these intricate cross-talks drive metastatic progression. Beyond science, I find inspiration in art, photography, and the joy of cooking for friends!!!
