Curie Institute | Paris, France

Title: "Impact of 2D sampling on the characterization of cellular structures in tissues"

  • Developed spatial statistical models for 3D imaging datasets, revealing sampling-induced biases
  • Worked on mathematical foundations of 2D sampling; built simulations to model several tissue types

Title: "Modification of HoxD locus spatial structure by recruiting a truncated form of CTCF protein"

  • Engineered a dCas9-CTCF fusion construct and targeted it to a predefined genomic locus, modulating both the epigenetic landscape and local 3D genome topology
  • Publication: Ectopic recruitment of the CTCF N-terminal domain with two proximal zinc-finger domains as a tool for 3D genome engineering. Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2025. DOI: 10.3390/ijms26157446
