This day marked the end of a demanding chapter and the beginning of a new one. I feel deeply thankful for everyone who made this path possible colleagues, friends, family and a fantastic mentor @mel-foulon.bsky.social who stood by me through it all.

My heartfelt thanks also go to my thesis committee: @oneyrolles.bsky.social, @jasonkinglab.bsky.social and
@dudinlab.bsky.social for their insightful questions, thoughtful discussions, and genuine engagement during the defense, they were the perfect fit for my project and truly wonderful people.

I am deeply grateful to @soldatilab.bsky.social whose mentorship, patience, and scientific vision have been a constant source of inspiration. Working under his guidance has been a truly formative experience.
