Maëva Drouault , Post-doctoral Fellow

After a Master degree in Molecular Genetics completed at the University of Bordeaux, I obtained my PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Caen Normandy. My thesis conducted under the supervision of Dr Christelle Delalande and Dr Vincent Hanoux, was focused on Male Reproductive Biology and Toxicology. In particular I have investigated the role of estrogen signaling in rat testis and its alteration by endocrine disruptors.

In March 2023, I have joined the research group of Dr Aminata Touré at the Institute for Advanced Biosciences (Grenoble) to work on sperm motility and metabolism as a postdoctoral researcher. I am particularly involved in the SPERMetabo project funded by the ANR, which aims at deciphering the metabolic pathways supporting energy production in human and mouse sperm cells, and at characterizing the consequences of their deficiencies in the context of human male infertility.
