Scientific summary

I exercise in the team "Neurogenetics and neurométabolomics "on the theme" genetics of autism and mental deficiencies. "

The objective of our team is to identify new genes, epigenetic mechanisms and metabolic abnormalities involved in mental deficiency (MD) and autism.

My work is orientated along two axes :
- Responsibility in molecular biology  for my research team where I aim to develop and coordinate molecular biology technology.
-  Technical responsibility on the academic platform "analysis of biological systems" of the University of Tours, where I train users and students with  QPCR, microarray, CGH-array and sequencing technology.

I am also responsible of safety for my team. I inform each new member of the Unit of specific risks associated with the research activity in their laboratory.
