Scientific summary

I developed over the past years, an expertise in vascular biology and extracellular vesicles, liver biology and geriatric medicine.
On the clinical side, I am interested in the liver function and impact in Geriatric Medicine.
On the basic side, I joined Pr. Rautou's team in the inflammation research center (INSERM U1149, University of Paris) as project manager and currently developing a project on the role of hepatic aging in the elderly.
