On this day, we decided to highlight one of our women in science Marion Allaoua.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marion is a researcher and has been part of our team since her thesis.\u00a0 She shares with us her passion for science and her career path as well as her missions within the R&D department.<\/p>\n

To discover her full interview :<\/p>\n
How was your passion for science born?<\/strong><\/p>\n I think that the revelation happened to me during the practical work of SVT in college. I loved to observe under the microscope, to do dissections (I remember dissecting the pellet of an owl to understand what it had eaten), to make scientific interpretations.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Your work at Phod\u00e9 ?<\/strong><\/p>\n I started at Phod\u00e9 7 and a half years ago for a CIFRE thesis and I was then hired as a researcher in the R&D department. On a daily basis my job is divided into 3 parts:<\/em><\/p>\n – The first part is the research and communication part: I do a lot of bibliography to choose the active ingredients of the next products but also think about the protocols of our next experiments. I also write scientific articles or present our work in scientific or technical conferences.<\/em><\/p>\n – The second part is the experimental part and takes place in the laboratory where I carry out microbiology and molecular biology experiments (in vitro testing of active ingredients, DNA extraction, qPCR, microbiota analysis…).<\/em><\/p>\n – The last part is the support to the technical-marketing department: discussion about the test protocols, help to find experimental stations, development of new products.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n How would you describe your position as a woman scientist at Phod\u00e9 ?<\/strong><\/p>\n At Phod\u00e9 we are lucky to have a scientific team composed of many women, whether in the R&D department where I work or in the laboratories: aromatic, galenic, quality control and analytical. So there is no gender discrimination in our company, everyone finds their place, is free to propose ideas, and to see them become reality.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n What would you like to say to the younger generation of women who want to enter the scientific world?<\/strong><\/p>\n That there is a place for women in science, more and more so. That they should persevere and be inspired by the many known female scientists but also by those who surround them. I also hope that they will find women who will push them to continue and exceed their expectations as I did. I wanted to work in biology but initially I wanted to be a laboratory technician and thanks to the people I met along the way I finally continued my studies until I did a thesis, although I never thought I would have the ability. So believe in yourself!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On this day, we decided to highlight one of our women in science Marion Allaoua. \u00a0 Marion is a researcher and has been part of our team since her thesis.\u00a0 She shares with us her passion for science and her career path as well as her missions within the R&D department. \u00a0 To discover her […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35543,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"\n
