About me

I'm an immunologist turned science communicator. Science communication has always played an essential role in my life: first alongside my studies, then during my research career, it now occupies a central place, drawing on more than 10 years of experience in research.

I work as a freelance scientist creating content accessible to the public, fact-checking on various platforms, and offering consulting services in the field of immunology.
