Pros

Working as a PhD student at INSERM allowed me to benefit from a stimulating research environment, access to cutting-edge facilities, and collaboration with leading experts in biomedical sciences. This experience provided me with strong scientific rigor, autonomy, and the ability to conduct interdisciplinary projects with international visibility.

Cons

As a PhD student, resources and funding can sometimes be limited, requiring creativity and resilience to overcome constraints. The academic pace can be highly demanding, with long hours and pressure to publish, which can sometimes limit the balance between research and personal life.
