Albane is a 2nd year PhD student in Laurie MENGER’s lab at Gustave Roussy Institute. After spending 3 years in London, she obtained a Bachelor’s in Biochemistry from Imperial College London. She then joined the École Normale Supérieure de Paris for her Master’s degree in biology, specialising in Health Sciences. She developed an interest in T cell therapy during her first year Master’s internship, working on CAR T cells. Albane joined Laurie MENGER’s team first as a Master 2 intern working on allogeneic CAR T cells, then as a PhD student affiliated with Paris-Saclay University. Albane’s current PhD research explores the epigenome and epitranscriptome to enhance T cell stemness in the context of adoptive T cell therapy.
