Is a researcher in gingival tissue engineering whose work focuses on the biofabrication, cellular organization, and mechanical cues that drive oral soft-tissue regeneration. Currently a PhD candidate at the BioTis laboratory (Inserm U1026, Bordeaux), she develops a large, viable 3D-bioprinted gingival connective tissue graft intended for future clinical use. Her research aims to define the mechanical properties of native gingiva, optimize a next-generation biomimetic construct with improved cell viability, matrix architecture, and prevascularization, and assess its in vivo integration under clinically relevant transplantation conditions. Building on research experiences at RESTORE (Toulouse, France) and Biotis (Bordeaux, France)—where she investigated periodontal aging, hypoxia responses, endothelial progenitors, and stem cells from the apical papilla—she has developed strong expertise in cellular and molecular biology, soft-tissue bioengineering, biomaterial characterization, and advanced imaging. Through her work, she seeks to advance the development of functional, vascularized oral mucosa substitutes and contribute to innovative regenerative solutions in periodontology and oral surgery.
