First person – Amélie Bacle

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Amélie Bacle is first author on ‘ A comprehensive study of phospholipid fatty acid rearrangements in metabolic syndrome: correlations with organ dysfunction ’, published in DMM. Amélie conducted the research described in this article while a postdoc in Thierry Ferreira’s lab at Université de Poitiers, Poitiers, France, where she investigated lipid membranes, their composition, and the link between their properties, cellular processes and diseases, using computational techniques such as molecular modelization. She is now working in a private company developing health care applications.
