Toiwiya HASSANE

A LOOK AT TOIWIYA'S BACKGROUND

Toiwiya holds a Master's degree in Health Biology from Sorbonne Paris Nord University, and Bachelor's degree in Biology and Biotechnologies from the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (Paris) and in Life Sciences from the University of Comoros.

Her professional background includes research internships, especially on the involvement of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the resistance to therapies of T-cell lymphomas. She carried out this internship for her Master's degree, as well as other internships in cellular and molecular biology and oncogenomics. These experiences have allowed her to develop her technical skills including cell culture, EVs extraction and characterization, and flow cytometry.

TOIWIYA'S MOTIVATION FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

Recently, there is an increasing interest in EVs, due to their role in multiple processes, both physiological and pathological. But this field remains largely unknown, which prompted me to make EVs my privileged area of expertise. My interest in new therapies has guided my academic background, and I believe that a project associating new therapies with EVs represents an exceptional opportunity and the perfect fusion between my two passions.

My experience with EVs, through my Master 2 internship, also led me to realize that while EVs can play an antagonistic role to therapies, they also have the potential to be exploited to enhance them, and I'm very excited at the prospect of being able to highlight their contribution in regenerative therapies and implants. Furthermore, this project represents an exceptional opportunity to collaborate with a laboratory that is at the cutting edge of nanotexturing technologies, which is a major asset for my career.
