Hana is a PhD student working with Dr. Fabrice Lejeune. She obtained her Master’s degree in Genetics, in 2014, at the University of Lille in France. Prior coming to Lille, Hana did a biological engineering degree at Boumerdès University in Algeria. She acquired biomedical and biotechnological knowledge that she applies during her PhD. By coupling her engineering and research training, Hana is currently identifying new drugs correcting a nonsense mutation with a focus on their application in clinics to promote the expression of normally unexpressed proteins in these types of pathologies.
