Is a researcher at the French research institute Inserm and has been working at the BioTis laboratory (Laboratory for the Bioengineering of Tissues, Bordeaux, France) since 2013. She completed her undergraduate training at the Engineer school ENSTA in Paris (1988) and her PhD at the University of Bordeaux (1991), thus acquiring expertise in the artificial control of gene expression in eucaryotes. A few years after being recruited by Inserm, she joined a laboratory working on multiple sclerosis and shifted her research focus to analyzing the regulation of inflammation in central nervous system (CNS). After joining the BioTis laboratory, she transferred her expertise in CNS inflammation regulation to the tissue reaction specific to the implantation of medical devices known as the "foreign body reaction (FBR)". In collaborative works with electrochemists and electronics engineers, she has been working on the development of implantable glucose sensors and associated measurements of FBR, and fibrosis. In addition, she is strongly interested by projects involving biomaterial-assisted bone regeneration and bone physiology.
