Scientific summary

Since the beginning of my PhD, the main focus of my research is to identify and study neurons and circuits responsible for the genesis and transmission of somatosensory information from the periphery to the brain in normal and pathological condition.

I did my PhD in neurobiology (2003-2007) in the laboratory of Pr. Jean Valmier and Dr. Patrick Carroll at the Institute for Neurosciences of Montpellier (Montpellier, France) followed by two years of temporary lecturer and research assistant (ATER) at the University of Montpellier II.

From 2010 to 2016, I performed a postdoctoral training with Pr. Martyn Goulding at the Salk Institute (La Jolla, California, USA) and from 2017 to 2019 with Dr. Olivier Meilhac in DéTROI lab / UMR Inserm U1188 – University of Reunion (Reunion, France).

In 2019, I have been recruited as a tenured Research Fellow (Chargé de Recherche) at INSERM and I was a laureate for the ATIP-Avenir program that allow me to lead a research team working on diabetic neuropathy.
