Welcome William Emery !

Hello everyone!

My name is William. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading, and experimenting with new cooking recipes. I’ve recently joined the Fajas lab for my master’s research.

I’m excited to meet all of you at the CIG and learn more about the work being done here.

Looking forward to collaborating with you all!

Welcome Arnaud Puech !

Hello everyone,

I’m a master’s student in medical biology specialising in “Metabolism and human health”. I joined Sophie Croizier’s laboratory at the CIG to work on the project entitled “Cilia, Arcuate Nucleus & Sexual Dimorphism”. I’m proud to be part of the team and to be working on concepts combining neuroscience and metabolism. I look forward to seeing you.

Farewell Xavier !

After 14 years working at the CIG, Xavier is leaving at the end of August 2024. We wish him all the best!

Welcome to Jaime Lopez Alcala

Hello World,

I am Jaime López, a biomedical researcher. I studied Biochemistry (Bachelor) and Biomedicine (Master and PhD) at the University of Córdoba (Spain). During that time, I had the opportunity to investigate different metabolic pathologies, especially those related to obesity and its associated disorders (e.g., cancer).

In 2020, I received an EMBO short-term fellowship to work at the CIG (UNIL) for 3 months, and I was amazed by the city of Lausanne and its beautiful landscapes. Four years later, I am back in the Fajas’ lab, ready to unravel the mechanisms of resistance to cancer treatments.

Personally, I like to enjoy nature, fitness and historical culture, including its spiritual part.

See you on the fifth floor of the Génopode building!

Welcome to Virginie Ricci !

Hi everyone,

My name is Virginie and I recently started as a bioinformatician in the group of David Gatfield.

I studied Bachelor and Master at UniL, and did my PhD at UniBas. I am happy to be back, especially for sailing on the *Léman* lake!

Looking forward to meeting you all,

Cheers,

Vi
