Dr. Delphine Quenet

Born and raised in France, Dr. Quenet did not like science and spent her time reading and considering a career in literature. Dr. Quenet journey in science started after meeting a scientist working on rheology (study of fluid). He showed her the translational aspect of his work on blood property, from physics to biology to human health. It was fascinating, and like a mystery novel, it was a search for clues to answer to a biological question. After exploring different research projects over summer internships, Dr. Quenet set-up my research on chromatin structure and DNA-dependent mechanisms (i.e., DNA replication and repair, and gene expression). In parallel, Dr. Quenet has been teaching courses on different topics including Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Microscopy techniques, Cyto/Histology and Scientific Communication. Outside lab and classroom, Dr. Quenet still enjoys reading, as well as baking, and hiking.
