I started working on CAZymes in 2007 when I joined the group of Mirek Cygler, as postdoctoral student, in the Biotechnological Reasearch Institut (BRI) at Montreal, QC, Canada. I spent three years on functional et structural studies of different CAZymes involved in synthesis and degradation of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). During this period, I mainly worked on Polysaccharide Lyases and I solved the first structure of PL13 family (Ref).

In 2010, I joined the glycogenomic group, led by ^^^Bernard Henrissat^^^ at AFMB laboratory (Marseille, France), as postdoctoral student to strengthen the functional and structural side of the team. I obtained my permanent position as assistant professor in Aix-Marseille University in 2011. Currently, I manage the updating of structural and functional information in the CAZy database. My personal researches interest are oriented to the characterization of poorly characterized CAZymes families or the discovery of new CAZymes families.
