Klamydia von Karma
edit
Dr. Meschichi Anis (Born 1993), known as Klamydia von Karma, is a French drag artist, LGBTQ+ activist, and researcher in Cell Biology.
Early life and education
editBorn and raised in Paris in a Franco-Tunisian family, Anis discovered a love for plant biology at a young age, spending countless hours exploring nature and conducting amateur experiments in their garden. Despite facing challenges and discrimination for their gender expression and interests, Anis remained determined to pursue their passions.
After completing their undergraduate studies in biology specializing in Plant Biology at the University of Paris Saclay, Anis started a Ph.D. in Sweden at the University of SLU, focusing on chromatin dynamics during DNA repair in plants. Throughout their academic journey, they navigated the art of drag in the Uppsala underground club Kulturhuset Femman.
Drag career
editUppsala - Sweden
editIn Uppsala, Anis started performing as a drag artist in 2018 in Kulturhuset Femman with the local drag artist Amanita Borealis, where they hosted the event "Queerest".
Between 2018 and 2022, Klamydia performed in Uppsala, Stockholm, and Prague for private events.
Klamydia von Karma has hosted Umea Alternative Pride and opened Uppsala Pride in 2022.[1][2].
Zurich - Switzerland
editIn Zurich, Klamydia von Karma performed in drag at various stages between Zurich, Basel, and Lucerne as well as International shows across Europe (France, Sweden, Germany).
In the same years, Klamydia was crowned Miss Heaven 2023 hosted by Milky Diamonds[3], and Miss Drag Roy-LÄLLE-ty hosted by Odette Hella Grand, two of the most important contests for drag artists in Switzerland.
Research Contributions
editDr Meschichi has been strongly interested in understanding mechanisms involved in chromatin processes (Replication, DNA repair, Transcription) by using multiple microscopy methods.
Dr. Meschichi obtained their PhD in September 2022 from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, in Uppsala Sweden, where they worked with Dr. Stefanie Rosa to study chromatin organization in the context of DNA damage and transcription regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana.[4]
During their Ph.D., the main focus was to understand the mechanisms of chromatin mobility during DNA damage using tracking LacO/lacI tagged locus and double-strand break sites repaired by homologous recombination[5]. To answer these biological questions, they have developed new plant imaging methods, including particle tracking (using mean squared displacement analysis on gene tagging systems), ANCHOR system (new gene tagging system)[6][7]. From this work, Dr Meschichi has shown that chromatin mobility plays a role in plants' DNA repair, which has been able by using a single-cell approach[8]
In 2023, Dr. Meschichi joined Prof. Kirsten Bomblies group at ETH Zurich to understand how chromatin architecture and regulation are affected by whole genome duplication. Additionally, Dr. Meschichi was awarded the ETH post-doctoral fellowship grant for this project
