En résumé

I have just defended my PhD with honors at the Saint-Antoine Research Centre in Paris.

My thesis has been an enriching experience which allowed me to acquire a number of skills. I developed and strengthened my skills in small animal experimentation (mouse), immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, molecular biology and flow cytometry.

Having performed research for almost four years, I am keen to pursuing a scientific career in neuroinflammation. My work experience in AD during my thesis has strengthened my interest in peripheral and central immune cells interactions in the brain environment during physiological aging and pathological conditions. My objective is to broaden my expertise in this field and to acquire new experimental and management skills.

You are interested or want to discuss further my expertise, feel free to contact me.

    2012 - 2015 Recent studies highlight the implication of the immune system in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and immunotherapy represents a promising strategy for the treatment of AD. Vaccines targeting the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide provided encouraging results in mouse models, but severe side effects attibutable to T cell responses in the first clinical trial point out the need for better understanding of adaptive immunity in AD. Previous reports suggested that CD4+ T cells might be either detrimental or beneficial depending on the effector type. We previously showed that regulatory T cells (Tregs) control Aβ-specific CD4+ T cell responses in physiological and pathological settings upon vaccination. The objective of my research project is to analyse the impact of Tregs on spontaneous disease progression in a murine model of AD-like pathology.
