Jimmy graduated from AgroParisTech engineering school, and got his Master 2 in Fundamental Virology at Institut Pasteur/Université Paris-Cité. He completed a 4-month internship at Institut Pasteur in 2022 on the development of reverse genetics and pseudotyping systems for a bat vesiculovirus, and a 6-month internship at ENS Lyon on the impact of herpes simplex virus type 1 on the ribosome interactome. He also completed a 4-month “field virology” internship at the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge, on an avian coronavirus (infectious bronchitis virus). He then joined the team for his Master 2 internship, during which he worked on the mechanism of action of the broad-spectrum antiviral protein MX1 against various human viruses: La Crosse virus (LaCV), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and influenza A virus (IAV). Thanks to a funding from the Fondation pour la Recherche Medicale (French Foundation for Medical Research, FRM) Jimmy joined the team in September 2024 for his PhD thesis on the restriction of influenza A virus by respiratory epithelial cells, with a focus on the MX1 protein.
