Virology researcher at University of Rouen seeking an MSCA PF fellow to study human parainfluenza virus genomics and host immune responses.

My organisation

DYNAMICURE (UMR 1311) is a joint research unit affiliated with INSERM, University of Rouen Normandie, and University of Caen Normandie. The unit focuses on the dynamics of microbial pathogens associated with respiratory and urinary infections, two major public-health challenges. It brings together clinicians, microbiologists, virologists, epidemiologists, and basic scientists from the university hospitals of Rouen and Caen, creating a strong translational research environment that links clinical cohorts with experimental and genomic approaches. The research program investigates microbial evolution, host–pathogen interactions, and the ecological and epidemiological dynamics that drive the emergence and persistence of infectious diseases. The unit integrates genomic and metagenomic approaches, high-throughput sequencing, and microbiome analysis to study pathogen diversity, adaptation mechanisms, and antimicrobial resistance. DYNAMICURE benefits from strong clinical networks through the CHU hospitals of Rouen and Caen and participates in national reference activities and international collaborations in infectious disease research. The unit promotes interdisciplinary and “One Health” approaches to better understand pathogen emergence across human, animal, and environmental reservoirs.

About me

Chaire de Professeur Junior (CPJ) at the University of Rouen Normandie, developing a research program on respiratory viruses with a particular focus on human parainfluenza viruses (HPIV). My research integrates viral genomics, molecular epidemiology, and host immune responses to better understand the mechanisms driving viral evolution, infection dynamics, and disease severity.

After the obtention of my PhD in Life Sciences and Organic Chemistry, I worked in research projects focused on animal and human infectious diseases. From 2020 to 2025, I held a postdoctoral fellowship in virology and molecular biology within the MAVIVHe team, INSERM U1259 (Tours, France) in translational research projects related to emerging viruses, particularly Hepatitis E virus. My expertise includes animal experimentation and a wide range of techniques in virology, molecular and cellular biology, microbiology, immunology, and nanotechnology with biomedical applications. I also have strong skills in scientific writing and communication, particularly in multidisciplinary and translational research environments.

Currently, I am interested in hosting motivated MSCA Postdoctoral Fellows who wish to develop innovative projects in virology, viral genomics, host–pathogen interactions, or respiratory virus biology. Candidates with interests in genomics, immunology, organoid models, or translational virology are particularly welcome.
