Her research activity focuses on developing in vivo/ex vivo gene therapy approaches for leukodystrophies. During her PhD and post-doc course, she has developed an in vivo gene therapy approach for metachromatic leukodystrophy that led to a clinical trial in early onset MLD patients at Kremlin Bicêtre hospital.
