Hello everyone,
I’m Aymeric Masson, new postdoc in the group of Prof. Alexandre Reymond. I come from Clermont-Ferrand (France), where I did my bachelor’s degree in Life sciences followed by a master’s in Biology and Health with a final internship at iGReD (Institute of Genetics, Reproduction and Development) under the guidance of Dr C. Barrière. During these years, I developed a growing interest in genetics, epigenetics and the bioinformatic aspects that enable the study of these fields.
I moved to Dijon (France) for my PhD which I did in the Génétique des Anomalies du Développement laboratory (GAD) under the supervision of Dr A. Vitobello. During my PhD, I investigated the pathology of variants of uncertain significance mainly by generating transcriptomic data, setting up a chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) protocol and building a basic skill set for analyzing both types of data. I am delighted to join the CIG to further explore how the genome functions, expresses itself, and the impact of its variations on health.
Aside from sciences and to share a bit about myself, I enjoy playing ice hockey for fun, listening to techno-inspired music (Vitalic, Worakls, Paul K, NTO, Contrefaçon…) and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to meeting and collaborating with all of you, see you around!
