As a behavioral ecologist, I have worked in various field on different species, in the conservation and fundamental research domains. I am primarily interested in great apes’ conservation and think; therefore, that research is a solution to achieve those goals.
Being part of the IMPRS program at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and of the Sohapi research group, my focuses are on aspects of sociality, such as social stress, friendships or integration,and their impacts on chimpanzees physiology (glucocorticoid, oxytocin levels) and health (neopterine, Virome).
