Initially educated as a Chemical Engineer, I completed a PhD in Pharmacy (University of Paris-Saclay, France) on an academia-industry collaboration to launch a new medication against brain tumours. Since then, I have worked as both an industry and academic researcher with positions held in France, Spain and New Zealand before moving to Australia in 2014. My travels led me to collaborate with a diverse range of inspiring mentors and taught me that brilliant ideas can come from anywhere, if curiosity is encouraged.

I aim to advance pharmaceutical nanoscience and pharmacy education for the greater good, through creating and passing on knowledge for better cures. My research spans from fundamental topics through to translation into new pharmaceutical products. Especially, I have contributed to the discovery and development of new “nano-drugs” against various diseases, including new antibiotics and new anticancer treatments.

My research is supported by both industry and national funding. I publish research articles in high-impact scientific journals across diverse specialised fields including supramolecular chemistry, biophysics, pharmacology and nanoscience. I am also the author of two TED-Ed videos aimed at helping the general public understand how medicines work. I am also co-inventor of three patents reporting new medications.

I am a passionate advocate for diversity, inclusion and positive leadership. I particularly enjoy working in the lab with my team and teaching student scientists from all around the world.I am also an amateur ballerina who practices pirouettes from time to time!
