Communicative Skills
• Team work: exellent team work ability in multicultural environment developed during the master’s degree internship that I spent in Martin Kater’s laboratory.
• Public exhibition: good experience of public exhibition of scientific data and techniques, developed during my master’s degree thanks to a lot of presentation perfermed during the exames and during the research team’s lab meeting.
• Good relational and communicative ability developed as a keyboard player of a band (relationship with audio/video technicians, photographers, local’s owners, event organizators, other bands and with the audience).
Managerial Skills
• Excellent organizational ability resulting from the years of universital studies (organization of the study and the exames to perform).
• Technical trainer: during my master’s degree internship I trained a girl for a few month (during her bachelor’s degree internship).
Computer Skills
• Good skills with the Microsoft Office programs, expecially Word and Power Point.
• Good skills with many bio-informatic programs like A-plasmid Editor (ApE), Chromas Lite, Ugene and Bio-Rad CFX Manager.

Research project
Comparison of non-coding RNAs transcription among unic-sequence centromeres of Equus asinus and the homologous non-centromeric sequences of Equus Caballus
The fact that centromeres are not inert sequences but are actively transcibed is now established.
Many non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that are transcribed from centromeric sequences may have a fundamental role in centromeres specification and function regulation. The study of these ncRNAs may provide us important clues to better comprehend the organization and specification of the centromeres.
Thanks to the horse (Equus caballus) genome sequencing (C.M. Wade, et al. Science 2009) the first mammalian unic-sequence centromere were discovered and since then, in our lab, 16 unic-sequence centromeres were discovered in donkey (Equus asinus).
Horse and donkey chromosomes displays an high level of homology, and interestingly, the unic-sequence centromeric sequences of the donkey are positioned in the homologue chromosomes of the horse in a non-centromeric position. This allow us to analyze and compare the same sequence in centromeric and non-centromeric position.
My research project aims to evaluate differences in the transcription of ncRNAs in these homologue sequences, in order to find out and caracterize centromere-specific ncRNAs.
