Solène ROLLAND

Solène Rolland has a diverse work experience in the field of molecular biology and protein engineering. Solène is currently employed as a Research Scientist in Molecular Biology/Protein Engineering at Sosei Heptares. Solène'srole involves working on the stabilisation of GPCRs for crystallization, using techniques such as cell culture, FRET-, NanoLuc-based assays, mass spectrometry, and cloning.

Prior to their current position, Solène was a PHD Graduate Student at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) from 2016 to 2020. In this role, they conducted research on host cell-autonomous defence mechanisms in response to infections, utilizing various experimental techniques including genome-editing using CRISPR-Cas9, cloning, western blotting, cell culture, flow cytometry, and microscopy.

Solène also gained experience as a Master Thesis Student at Bayer Pharmaceuticals in 2016, where they worked in the Biochemistry department within the Screening group. Solène'sprojects involved microtiterplate screening, TR-FRET technology, binding kinetics, and computer science and programming skills using software like GraphPad Prism, Genedata, and Excel.

Additionally, Solène worked as a Research Associate Intern at SCYNEXIS from 2014 to 2015, and as a Private Tutor at Complétude from 2012 to 2014, where they assisted high school students with homework in Maths, Biology, and Physics.

Solène started their career as a Technician level Intern at the Institut des Biomolécules Max Mousseron (IBMM) in 2013, where they performed multi-step syntheses of small molecules for medical applications and drug therapies.

Furthermore, Solène has experience as a Summer Camp Leader at le Temps des Vacances (TDV) from 2009 to 2013.

Overall, Solène Rolland has a strong background in molecular biology, protein engineering, and experimental techniques, gained through their various positions and research projects.

Solène ROLLAND began their education in 2010 at the Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Ecoles au lycée "Aux Lazaristes", where they pursued their studies until 2012. Solène then attended Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Montpellier from 2012 to 2015, but no specific degree or field of study is mentioned for this period. Subsequently, from 2016 to 2021, they pursued a Doctor of Philosophy - PhD in Molecular Biology at the University of Cambridge. Finally, in 2023, they completed a Training Course in Management at Hansen Beck.
