During her Ph.D., she focussed her research on the therapeutic interest of prebiotics and probiotics in the control of tumor progression and associated cachexia. She then moved to a postdoctoral position at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA, where she studied the role of the gut microbiota in the metabolic benefits of resistant starches.
