After building an extensive knowledge in Neuroscience and Pharmacology fields, I have now a permanent position as a principal investigator at the "Institut du cerveau et de la moelle épinière". My interest are oriented toward the search of new drug targets and therapeutic strategies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders.
During my PhD and postdoctoral training, I acquired both in vivo and in vitro expertise in studies of CNS pathology. As a graduate student, I developed different models of cerebral inflammation in order to test potential drugs; notably diverse co-culture systems studying the interaction between immune cells and neurons. Along my training, I mastered a wide variety of surgical techniques and animal behavior evaluation. I assessed different brain and spinal cord injuries models. Analysis of the effect of treatments was performed using various tools: locomotor evaluation, molecular biology (microarrays, in situ hybridization), biochemistry (western blot, ELISA) and immunohistological analysis.
Since 2006, I am the project leader of a team composed of 1 engineer, 2 technicians and 2 students; collaborating with various national and international teams. Our efforts resulted in 10 original publications and 6 invitations to international conferences.
