Biography
I was awarded my PhD from Lausanne University, Switzerland, in 2010. I completed all my post-doctoral training in Australia and I am currently an Associate Professor within Deakin University's School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences and Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition. I am a molecular biologist by training, and my main research focus is the regulation of skeletal muscle mass in health and disease conditions, including ageing. I have a particular interest in the role played by non-coding RNAs in the regulation of these processes. My current research program focuses on female muscle physiology, and how the female muscle adapts to exercise and disease conditions at the epigenetic, molecular, cellular and functional level.

Career highlights
In 2008, I developed an original anti-doping test against the 3rd generation erythropoietin (EPO) molecule (Continuous EPO Receptor Activator, CERA) that was commercialized by Roche Pharmaceuticals and used worldwide (MicroCoat® MIRCERA ELISA, Microcoat Biotechnologies GMBH, PMID19625154).
