I am currently a Research Engineer in Animal Biology applied to Neurosciences.
I developed my experience in Neurosciences after spending 5 years at the University of Victor Segalen Bordeaux 2, where I worked as a research technician in the field of experimental and clinical epileptology.
In 2004, I moved to the UFR of Sciences and Techniques at the University of Rouen, where I worked for 6 years in the field of neuroendocrinology as an assistant engineer. During this time, I developed experimental methodologies aimed at understanding various pathologies (diabetes, obesity, ischemia and brain aneurysms, tumor development, sepsis, etc.). I also managed 3 rodent, lagomorph, and amphibian animal facilities (with 4 staff members under my supervision).
In 2010, I joined the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center (CRNL) as part of the Sleep team, where my work is now entirely dedicated to research.
Today, I apply my expertise to understanding the mechanisms of sleep, particularly REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. I have developed expertise in sleep analysis in rodent models. I also study sleep in rodent models in the context of aging, social environments, and various pathologies (narcolepsy, REM sleep behavior disorder, myotonic dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, etc.).
My skills have led me to collaborate with many national and international laboratories requiring sleep expertise.
As part of my activities, I have also had the pleasure of teaching.
Engaged in the CRNL community, I am the coordinator for the users of the CRNL animal facility (122 users), deputy head of pharmaceuticals, a member of the animal welfare structure at CRNL, and a member of the Lyon Ethics Committee for Experimental Neurosciences. I am also an active member of the CRNL bicycle maintenance club and workshop.
