Shortly after completing a Master of Research in Neurosciences at Aix-Marseille University in July 2020, she joined the IPMC under the direction of Jean-Louis Nahon to work on the role of the melanin-concentrating hormone in the regulation of neuroendocrine functions in high fat diet context with mice.
