At work, I am only interested in 28 chromosome ends and 60 var genes in Plasmodium falciparum. My work in the Deitsch lab focuses on the influence of chromatin structure on gene expression and DNA repair. Outside work, I am an outdoor person. I run, hike, travel and look for good food. At home, I am a decent cook and trying to grow some plants. I have a not so friendly cat and hopefully will have a second one soon. I believe that science is for every one and curiosity is the key. #BLM, #womeninscience

Gaelle completed her PhD at Institut Cochin in Paris with Dr. Catherine Lavazec, where she developed an in vitro model of P. falciparum infection of erythrocyte precursors in the bone marrow parenchyma. Using this model, she found that infection with P. falciparum gametocytes delays erythroblast maturation to prevent the release of immature gametocytes into circulation. She joined the Kafsack lab in January 2020. Gaelle also likes playing badminton and gardening.

I completed my Ph.D. (Health & Biological Sciences) from Symbiosis International Deemed University in 2019. I worked at National AIDS Research Institute (ICMR), Pune, India. During my tenure here, I worked on various aspects of HIV drug resistance. In my Ph.D. course, I studied the HIV-1 Gag mutations among protease inhibitor experienced patients and its role in virus release and replication.
