Fernanda first joined Caroline Goujon’s team in January 2024 as part of her Master’s internship in Biology, specializing in the Microbiology, Immunobiology, and Infectious Diseases (MIDI) program at the Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA). During this internship, she worked with Olivier Moncorgé and Alice Trausch on developing reporter influenza viruses for recently circulating strains using reverse genetics techniques. In September 2024, Fernanda joined the team as a research engineer for the APPEAL project (Antivirus Pandemic Preparedness European Platform). She contributes to optimizing CRISPR-based genome editing techniques to validate genes of interest involved in the replication of major pathogenic viruses. This work aims to better understand virus-host interactions and aligns with the project’s overall strategy of identifying key host factors and developing broad-spectrum antivirals against emerging or re-emerging pathogenic viruses
