Is a PhD candidate at the BioTis Laboratory (INSERM U1026) at the University of Bordeaux, specializing in bone physiology and skeletal tissue regeneration. Her research focuses on understanding the role of osteocytes in calvarial bone defect healing, with particular emphasis on osteocyte network viability, lacuno-canalicular organization, and osteocyte–endothelial communication. Her work relies on advanced 3D imaging and osteocyte–vessel co-culture systems to investigate how network disruption and cellular aging impair regenerative processes. Before starting her doctoral studies, she gained solid expertise in cardiovascular physiology at INSERM U1045, where she contributed to research on osteoprotegerin signaling in pulmonary hypertension and the role of the TRPV4 channel in cardiopulmonary pathophysiology. Through a multidisciplinary approach bridging cell biology and bone repair, Léa aims to deepen the understanding of osteocyte-driven mechanisms and support the development of improved therapeutic strategies for skeletal tissue regeneration.
