My research focuses on the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying different modalities of somatosensation such as pain, itch and touch. I study the role of receptors and ion channels in the transduction, transmission and modulation of sensory information using different experimental approaches (electrophysiology, imaging, behavior and machine learning). In parallel, I work on the development of new analgesic drug candidates using high-throughput screening and in collaboration with chemists. To this aim, I now focus on the pharmacological potential of venom toxins.

Junior member of Institut Universitaire de France (chaire Innovation 2024-2029)

I teach neurosciences and pharmacology in B.Sc. and M.Sc. programs. I am responsible for the neuropsychopharmacology training in the Drug Sciences Master program. I regularly train interns and supervise Ph.D. students (cf. CV).
