My research interests are developmental evolution, regeneration, gene regulation and cell type evolution. During my Ph.D. at Range lab at Auburn University, I studied the molecular mechanisms and gene regulatory networks during early patterning of the sea urchin embryo.

​

During my postdoctoral research position at Röttinger lab at the Institute for Research on Cancer and Aging in Nice (IRCAN) I investigated the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying whole-body regeneration in the cnidarian sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. In particular, my research focused on the apoptosis-dependent mechanisms during the tissue crosstalk required to induce a regenerative response.

Currently, I worked as a Light Microscopy Product Specialist at ZEISS Microscopy, Carl Zeiss Iberia SL.
