Marianne studied biomedical engineering at the University of Technology of Compiègne (UTC, France). In 2016 she obtained her PhD in Physics from Ecole Polytechnique (France), working on a novel terahertz imaging technique in the Laboratory for Optics and Bioscience. She then completed a postdoc in the Taute Lab at the Rowland Institute at Harvard University (USA), where she used a high-throughput bacterial 3D tracking method and developed a new multiscale chemotaxis assay to explore bacterial navigation strategies. After a temporary position as a researcher and teaching assistant in the Laboratory of Biophysics and Evolution at ESPCI-Paris PSL (France), she started her own group at the Institute of Medical Microbiology in the RWTH University Hospital (Aachen, Germany).
