I am currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Laboratory of Transmission, Control and Immunobiology of Infections (LR11IPT02) at Institut Pasteur de Tunis (IPT) in Tunisia. I obtained in 2008 a PhD in Molecular Biology jointly from University Montpellier 2 (France) and University Tunis El-Manar (Tunisia). During my PhD I worked on high-throughput approaches applied to analyse both transcriptomes of infected human macrophages and their infecting Leishmania parasites, using strains of contrasted virulences or tropisms. I am currently involved in the analysis, functional annotation and data mining of high throughput DNAseq, RNAseq, SAGE and microarray data. I have been an invited speaker in several local and international courses and workshops for post-graduates in the field of NGS. I am also a member of IPT H3ABioNet node.
