Véronique Fabre PhD in Molecular Pharmacology

Course and current status

Véronique Fabre is an INSERM researcher at the Neuroscience Paris Seine Institute in Paris. She obtained her Ph.D. in Neuropharmacology at the University of Pierre and Marie Curie in France. Her research first focused on studying the adaptive consequences of enhanced serotonergic tone in genetically modified animal models.  During her postdoc at the Scripps Research Institute (California, USA), she studied the molecular and cellular basis of arousal and sleep regulation. Back in France in 2002, her work was centered on the identification of neural circuits linking mood to sleep with a special focus on serotonergic and hypocretinergic systems. She has expertise in sleep physiology, functional neuroanatomy and molecular biology.

Scientific summary

Véronique Fabre is currently investigating how the phenotypical heterogeneity of the raphe nuclei impacts sleep and emotional-related behaviors.
