Senior scientist at Sixfold Bioscience

Aurélie recently started a senior scientist position at Sixfold Bioscience, after completing her postdoctoral Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship with the UK-based start-up. There, she helps to develop RNA-based structures for the delivery of gene therapies. Prior to joining Sixfold, Aurélie completed her PhD in Chemistry at McGill University (Montréal, Canada) with Prof. Hanadi Sleiman. She also holds a MSc in Chemistry and a MRes in medicinal biochemistry from the National Graduate School of Montpellier (France). Finally, Aurélie loves discussing science with the general public. She completed a one-year journalism/science communication degree in 2019 (Laval University), with the support of the Chu Family Foundation women award (IS3NA), to strengthen her skills for science outreach. Notably, she took part of the 3 min thesis competition, volunteered for Pint of Science Canada, or recently competed as the MSCA finalist for Falling Walls 2020.
