Previous training and experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my training as an agricultural engineer, I developed a great interest in microbiology and infectious diseases. Therefore, I did my Master 2 internship in the laboratory of Prof. Roland Brosch at the Institut Pasteur in Paris on the virulence and persistence of mycobacteria. I obtained a double Master’s degree in molecular and cell biology at the University of Rennes 1 (France) and agricultural engineering at Agrocampus Ouest (Rennes, France) in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why you wanted to join the project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my studies, I also discovered various very interesting research topics such as the role of microbiota in human and animal health. Therefore, this project immediately caught my attention as it combined two of my main research interests: microbiota and infectious diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About your research project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Prof. Gad Frankel’s laboratory at Imperial College London, my aim is to investigate how the gut microbiome offers protection against Citrobacter rodentium<\/em> infections. C. rodentium<\/em> is a mouse restricted pathogen that provides a physiological model to study pathogenesis and the role of microbiome during infection and recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other interests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside the laboratory, I enjoy spending time outside, doing manual activities or any kind of sports like fencing or horse riding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet ESR 1 Audrey Peters based in Imperial College. Her project will focus on how the gut microbiome offers protection against Citrobacter rodentium infections. @imperialcollege<\/a> @cormacgahan<\/a> @colinhillucc<\/a> @ClaessonLab<\/a> @ETH<\/a> @UCAuvergne<\/a> @ChariteBerlin<\/a> @XaviDomingo1<\/a> @Pharmabiotic<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/iKGkt1ZR8x<\/a><\/p>— COL_RES (@COLRES_ITN) March 29, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
