The DEVIN team is a translational neuroimaging team built around two poles: methodological development and clinical validation. Neuroimaging is the thematic research core around which different areas of clinical validation gravitate. During these last 5 years, the relationships within the team led to both methodological (e.g., definition of high spatial resolution brainstem sequences) and clinical studies (e.g., multimodal MRI in multisystem atrophy). The methods developed have been used in different clinical areas. For example, multimodal MRI has been methodologically enriched over the years and has been used in patients with Parkinson's syndromes as well as children with neurofibromatosis type 1. The preclinical aspect has strengthened and evolved. Post-mortem sequences for the animal brain were validated and many animals brain were scanned (eg., dog, sheep, horse, cat). Some new areas of clinical validation have been explored in our neuroimaging unit in the last five years: e.g. severe depression, learning disabilities, comatose patients. In summary, the relationships between the methodology and clinical validation parts is a successful one, as shown by the number of scientific papers signed as first or last author from the member of the team(156). New team-wide projects were planned within collaboration between research axes which emerged in recent years.
The team was actively involved in hosting many medical interns and trainees. The main recommendation from the last evaluation pointed to a lack of post-docs and a lack of Inserm recruitment. The number of post-doc increased during this last five years. The team grew up but mainly thank to clinicians. The main objective of our future team will be to recruit new engineers and researches.
