I am professor and practitioner in the Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the INSERM U1253 (CHU and University of Tours). I am specifically working on biomarkers's research in neurological diseases. Thus, my research activity is focused on the development of biomarkers, the understanding the aetiology of the disease and the identification of new neuroprotective agents based on biomarkers' findings. I have particularly used metabolomics and lipidomics approach to highlight diagnosis and prognosis biomarkers patients and animal models, and to improve the knowledge of pathophysiological ways in cell models. More recently, we are developing a therapeutic approach based on intrabodies to target some biomarkers.
