Celine obtained her PhD from University of Lyon (France) in 2003 whilst working on the microenvironment of bowel cancer with Pr. J.Y. Scoazec. From 2003-2005, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Lyon with Pr. Scoazec and Dr. P. Rousselle. Since 2005, she is a post-doctoral fellow in Dr. A. South’s laboratory which is based at Ninewells Hospital in the Division of Cancer Research. Celine is investigating the different factors involved in cutaneous cancer cell migration and invasion. She is also developing mouse models of skin cancer and genetic skin disorders to test therapeutic compounds. Celine is funded by an ERC grant.
