About Catherine

PhD in Neuroscience with a specialization in Cell and Molecular Biology, I am at your service as an independent or salaried scientist: whether you need occasional help for routine tasks or more comprehensive and long-term support for your research, I adapt to your constraints, including remote office work.

Furthermore, I offer a unique service to assist you in drafting your regulatory applications for animal experimentation projects. After 3 years as an evaluating member of an ethics committee, I offer you my expertise in this area to relieve you of this tedious and time-consuming task.

In 10 years of experience in research laboratories, I have worked in research institutions in the United States and France (NIH, universities, CNRS, INSERM). I am proficient in research project management, experimental design, data analysis, scientific literature review, and scientific writing. I master both classical and cutting-edge cell and molecular biology techniques, including handling animal and human tissues and cells, nucleic acid and protein analysis, cell culture, and high-throughput sequencing.

I have particularly in-depth knowledge of retinal tissue and extensive experience in experimental design.
