Magali holds a Degree in Biological Engineering and first worked in an analysis laboratory. In 2006, she switched to research in microbial genetics and in 2015, she obtained an Engineering Degree.
Her previous research experience includes studying bacterial chromosome dynamics and the characterization of a new plant hormone. Since 2007, she has held a permanent position at INRAE in the Microbial Genetics unit that joined Micalis institute in 2010. From 2007 to 2020, in the IFPC and ProCeD teams, she identified and functionally characterized protein complexes involved in major cellular processes in the Gram-positive model bacterium Bacillus subtilis, such as DNA metabolism, sporulation and morphogenesis, using various techniques such as interactomics, robotics, epifluorescence microscopy and gene expression analysis.
In 2020, Magali joined the MuSE team to study the occurrence of DNA mutations in phages and E. coli, at the single-cell scale, and their impact on bacterial evolution and adaptation. To do so, she uses microfluidic, microbial genetics and molecular biology techniques.
