Following a BSc in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry and a MSc in Chemoinformatics at Strasbourg University, I am now a PhD student in metabonomic under the supervision of Prof. Jeremy Nicholson and Dr Timothy Ebbels in the section of Computational and Systems Medicine at Imperial College London. My current research topic, “Targeted spectroscopic profiling of inflammation-related lipid mediators†involves the development and application of targeted mass spectrometry profiling to stratify critical surgery candidates based on their inflammatory status and risk of post-operative complications.
