She won the 2018 Henry Maso Award with her paper DNA metabarcoding as a tool to trace plants of interest in ingredients or cosmetics. Nelly is a member of the French Society, Société Française de Cosmétologie.

Speaking about the Award, Nelly said: “I feel very proud. This Award provides a chance to participate in a prominent Congress in the cosmetics field and to get to know a network of scientists in this field. As a young scientist, I had an opportunity to highlight DNA Gensee’s research and I wanted to share it with cosmetic players. It is an honour to be distinguished and to be chosen among so many talented young scientists. It’s brilliant and very motivating to contribute further to genetic sciences knowing that this work is recognised.”

The next Henry Maso Award will be awarded in 2020 when the IFSCC Congress will be held in Yokohama, Japan. It is recommended that scientific papers and entry forms be submitted by no later than 1 June 2019 to allow sufficient time for publication consideration.
