  PhD, Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, UCLouvain, Brussels, Belgium. Characterization of a peritoneal macrophage subpopulation recruited by particles inducing mesothelioma. Techniques used: - Cell culture of primary cell lines from Wistar rat: o peritoneal macrophages, o splenocytes; o bone-marrow precursors for macrophage differentiation, - Thymidine incorporation assay for cell proliferation assessment, - ATP luciferase assay to test cell viability; - Flow cytometry: o cell surface staining and intracellular cytokine staining, o BrdU and ki-67 staining for cell proliferation assessment, o acquisition and analysis of multiparametric cell samples with BD FACSCanto II Flow Cytometer, o data analysis of FCS files with Flowjo software; - RNA purification and dosage: o RNA extraction with silica-membrane columns (RNAeasy Mini kit) and via liquid/liquid separation (TRIzol® Reagent), o RNA dosage via UV-vis absorption (NanoDrop) and via fluorescence emission (Qubit); - qRT-PCR: o primer design, o preparation of the standards, o acquisition and analysis of the samples; - ELISA assay for cytokine measurement; - GraphPad Prism 9 for statistical analysis and data representation. - certifications for laboratory animal manipulation: o Catégorie B Felasa : “Technicien Animalier” ; o Catégorie C Felasa : “Maître d'Expérience”. - Scientific writing and scientific presentations.

  Study of the reactivity and biocompatibility of glasses and glass-ceramics created for bone-tissue replacement. Techniques used: - Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy: o lipid peroxidation measurement by thiobarbituric acid assay, o phenolic and polyphenolic antioxidants measurement by Folin–Ciocalteu assay; - EPR-spin trapping for the detection of Reactive Oxygen Species.
