Olivia Lenoir PhD, Inserm researcher CRCN

Course and current status

After a PhD training in Necker faculty (Paris) and a post-doc at the PARis-Cardiovascular research Centre (PARCC) of the Georges Pompidou Hospital (HEGP) in Paris , I have been recruited by Inserm in 2017. I now coordinates a group in Team "Kidney and vascular signaling: from developement to disease" in the PARCC, dedicated to the study of signaling switchs in glomeruli in chronic kidney diseases.

Scientific summary

Research in our laboratory “Kidney and vascular signalling: from development to disease” (Team leaders Drs P-L Tharaux and E Camerer) is centered on the analysis of mouse and human vascular and renal pathophysiology, with a particular emphasis on intercellular communications and signaling pathways. 

Within the team, my group focus on the identification of signaling switchs in renal complications of diabetes and hypertension with particular interest on autophagy function and regulation cells of the glomerular filtration barrier.
