Research interests

I obtained my PhD at the University of Rennes, France, where I worked on liver cancer stem cells. In addition, I studied embryonic stem cells during my Masters degree in Paris, France.  I have always been interested in stem cell biology and their identification, characterisation and differentiation.

I joined the Division of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery in June 2016 to work on osteochondral repair. My research focuses on the characterisation of relevant cells population which are able to contribute to the repair process and understanding how these cells can be used as part of novel interventions and therapy for the clinic.
