Melanie is a cytogeneticist and joined the Beroukhim lab as a visiting PhD student from Paris. She completed her postdoctoral medical training in neuropathology (Sainte-Anne Hospital, Paris, France). Melanie’s research interests include translational neuropathology and genomics of brain tumors. In the Beroukhim Lab, Melanie studied genomic drivers of pediatric low-grade gliomas, in addition to developing technologies that include methods to detect cell-free DNA in blood samples obtained from children with brain tumors and DNA-barcoding to identify combination therapies. She is now a practicing physician and is conducting postdoctoral research at St. Anne’s Hospital in Paris.
