Biographical sketch

Flo graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon in France in Chemistry and Physics. During her academic course, she had a first insight into the research world through several internships. She did a first internship in experimental biochemistry with Pr. Jens Hasserod at the ENS de Lyon, France, during which she synthesized new molecules to detect some enzymes in cancerous cells. Then, she went to the University of Auckland, New-Zealand, to work with Pr. Geoff Willmott on micro-fluidics and capillarity. Finally, she worked with Pr. Elise Dumont at the ENS de Lyon, France, on computational simulations and MMPBSA calculations on bio-molecular complexes. Once this internship was over, she spend one year working with Dr. François Dehez at Nancy, France and Pr. Benoit Roux at Chicago, USA, on recognition and specificity in protein-protein interactions.She is now enrolled in a dual PhD programm on the study of Molecular Basis of Recognition and Specificity in Synaptogenesis, with Dr. Dehez et Pr. Roux.

Research areas
Modeling of protein-protein interaction, free-energy calculations in biological systems.
