PARIS 13

En résumé

I earned my PhD in Neuroscience in 2003 at Paris VI, while working with Francis Crépel and Hervé Daniel on synaptic plasticity in the cerebellum using patch-clamp technique. In my dissertation, I described for the first time, several forms of synaptic plasticity between stellate cells and parallels fibers. Then, I joined Jean Rossier's laboratory at the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles (ESPCI), as a postdoctoral fellow, to study the neurovascular coupling within the cerebellum with Bruno Cauli. I demonstrated that cerebellar stellate and Purkinje cells dilate or constrict, respectively, neighboring blood vessels. In 2006, I got a researcher position at the INSERM. I am currently investigating the functional role of interneurons in the control of cortical blood flow. Combining patch-clamp, RT-PCR, Neurolucida reconstructions and infrared videomicroscopy, I aimed to characterize the roles of different subpopulations in the neurovascular coupling of the somatosensory cortex. In 2011-2015, I studied the role of metabolism on neuronal activity and blood vessel tonus within the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO), the structure responsible for the onset and maintenance of the slow-wave sleep. Currently, I am at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Biology at the Collège de France (CNRS/UMR 7241 - INSERM U1050) to focus on neuroglial interactions.
