Léa joins the team as a research assistant. After completing a master’s degree in virology, she worked in Strasbourg on grapevine viruses, then on characterizing mRNA degradation in plants at the Institute of Plant Molecular Biology (IBMP). In the Polo team, Léa will work with Delphine and Giulia on characterizing alterations in DNA repair pathways in pediatric gliomas carrying histone H3 mutations, as part of research projects funded by INCa and the Fondation de France.
