What I do at MMV:

My work is focused on the Pathogen Box project, which is an open source initiative to catalyse drug discovery for neglected tropical diseases.

Why I work at MMV:

It is very rewarding to work in drug discovery, with a not-for-profit and open source science approach. To have the opportunity to collaborate with a variety of partners, to coordinate efforts to fight malaria is also highly motivating.

More about me:

Before joining MMV in 2015, I worked for 7 years as a medicinal chemist for GenKyoTex  - Swiss biotech company based in Geneva. I hold a PhD in Organic Chemistry from the University of Geneva and completed my postdoctoral studies at the University of Toronto.
