Be ambitious, work towards your goals and never forget you are worth it!

Marie is a French and Czech researcher in biostatistics and enjoys applying her skills to medicine-related research. She studied mathematics, physics and engineering before specialising in mathematics and later in statistics. She holds a PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Strasbourg. She was then a postdoc in statistics at the Paris Cité University. In November 2022, she joined the University of Cambridge, at the MRC Biostatistics Unit.  

Marie is strongly involved in the scientific community, as depicted by her commitments to French and European scientific societies and associations. She is also an advocate for mental health, as well as for survivors of sexist and sexual violence. 

In September 2022, Marie got teamed up with three other young female researchers: Bibiana Barrera, Celine Everaert and Kiira Sarasjärvi. Together they developed a game, called The Big C, to defeat cancer taboos and misconceptions. For this project, they won the first prize of the Cancer Mission Arena and the Bright Young Minds Award.
