Biography
From 2015, Celine started an internship at UCL, London focused on large gap peripheral nerve injury as part of Prof R. Shipley and Dr. J. Phillips' group.
This multi-disciplinary project was then extended to a Ph.D. aiming to find a new rational design for tissue engineering conduits for peripheral nerve repair using spatial control of physical and chemical factors.
She graduated in 2019 and joined Professor Antoine Jerusalem's group in Oxford to work on experimental cell mechanics.
