Claire has obtained her Master degree in Plant Biology and Plant-Microbe Interactions at Paul Sabatier University, France, in 2019. She did her Master thesis at the Plant Science Research Laboratory (LRSV) under the supervision of Dr. Grégory Vert, where she investigated the molecular mechanisms mediating the endocytosis and the endosomal trafficking of the Arabidopsis root iron transporter IRT1 and their functional relevance in plant nutrition. In August 2020, she started her PhD research in the lab of Dr. Jenny Russinova to work on cell polarity and asymmetric cell division in Arabidopsis thaliana.

She accomplished her master study in 2017, which is followed by the PhD study with the CSC scholarship in the Functional Phosphoproteomics group at VIB in October 2017. She is working on the high temperature-mediated signaling events in Arabidopsis and crops (wheat, soybean). In Arabidopsis, She is mainly exploring how warm temperature prioritizes growth over jasmonate-mediated responses. Additionally, She is also interested in warm temperature-regulated early signaling events and the correlated networks using phosphoproteomics. In wheat, she applies phosphoproteomics to explore how high temperature affects the reproductive growth and development, followed by functional validation under high temperature.
