I obtained my Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Besancon (France) in 2004 and then was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Hospital for Sick Children in the Molecular Structure & Function department (Toronto, Canada). I joined the CNRS UMR 7369, at University of Reims Champagne Ardenne (URCA), in 2007 as an Associate Professor. During the last years, my research interests have been focused on deciphering at the atomic and molecular level (through molecular modeling and simulations) the processes governing the structure/dynamics/function relationships of extracellular matrix major macromolecules.
