Jade was born in Strasbourg and moved to Geneva to pursue higher education. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from the University of Geneva, which led to a deep interest in neuroscience and research. She completed a master’s degree in neuroscience within the Child Development Laboratory, directed by Professor Petra Hüppi at the University of Geneva. Using fMRI, her research project focused on the assessment of neural substrates of sustained attention in very preterm compared to full-term adolescents and assessed the long-term effects of a mindfulness-based intervention in preterm adolescents.

Since March 2024, Jade is a PhD candidate under the supervision of Professor Indrit Bègue in the Neuroimaging and Translational Psychiatry lab. Her thesis focuses on brain circuitry therapeutics for schizophrenia, more specifically for the negative symptoms. She studies the neural mechanisms of the negative symptoms of schizophrenia using neuroimaging and uses transcranial magnetic stimulation of the cerebellum to restore circuit abnormalities.
