COMPETENCES / EXPERTISE

Audrey Tarricone is a platform engineer specializing in biological and technical sciences applied to health. She earned a master’s degree in Biotechnology for Health from the University of Saint-Étienne, where she developed her practical expertise during an internship at EFS Auvergne-Loire. During this internship, she was responsible for setting up HLA typing on the Illumina MiSeq platform.

After five years of study, she joined the Health Research Analytics Platform (PARS-Immuno) within the Immunology and Immunogenetics laboratory at Bordeaux University Hospital. She was responsible for the operation and technological development of the platform, contributing to a wide range of projects. This initial experience enabled her to develop platform and project management skills, as well as expertise in several technologies, including the nCounter Flex (NanoString), Bio-Plex 200 (Bio-Rad), and the LSRFortessa X-20 flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson).

In 2021-2022, she was recruited to the ARIADNE screening platform at the Pasteur Institute in Lille, where she trained in high-content screening and new technologies such as the Echo 550 acoustic nanodispenser (Beckman Coulter) and the IN CELL Analyzer 6000/6500 microscopes (Molecular Devices).

In 2023, Audrey Tarricone was recruited as a permanent engineer at the CNRS within the CIIL's MCV team for the Virocrib consortium, whose aim is to identify drug candidates to respond rapidly to the emergence of future pathogenic viruses that could lead to pandemics.
