Françoise Peyrin PhD Biomedical Engineering

Course and current status

Françoise Peyrin received her PhD in Computer Sciences in 1982, and her “ Docteur ès Sciences ” degree, both from the University of Lyon and the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA-Lyon), France, respectively in 1982, and 1990.

She has been Assistant Professor at INSA-Lyon from 1981 to 1987, and since then a Researcher at INSERM (National Institute for Health and Medical Research) where she is now Director of Research. Since 1994, she has been a scientific collaborator at the ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility), Grenoble, France.

She is leading team 4 « Tomographic Imaging and Radiotherapy » in the CREATIS Laboratory (INSA Lyon, University of Lyon, CNRS 5220, Inserm U1044) specialized in medical imaging and gathering about 180 staff.

Since 2012, she is leading the LabEx PRIMES (Physique Radiobiologie Imagerie Médicale et Simulation) from the Université de Lyon.

Scientific summary

Her research interest is in 3D biomedical imaging particularly in X-ray tomography, tomographic image reconstruction, image analysis and wavelet based methods. She has strongly been involved in the development of synchrotron tomographic imaging for biomedical applications. She is particularly developing reconstruction methods for emerging tomographic modalities, and image analysis techniques for the characterization of bone tissue at the micro and nano scales.

She is the author of more than 180 peer reviewed papers, 21 books chapters and more than 350 conference papers (h-index:40).

She has been leading the French GDR Stic Sante from 2011 to 2015 in which she has been involved since 2007. Since 2003, she has been serving in the IEEE Bio Imaging and Signal Processing Technical committee (2003-2013), and since 2105 in the IEEE Biomedical Imaging and Image Processing and the EURASIP SAT BISA Biomedical Image and Signal Analytics.
