Biography:

  • 2021: Accreditation to Direct Research
  • Since 2016 Lecturer – Clermont-Auvergne University, UMR 1107-Neuro-Dol
  • 2013-2016: Post- doctorate – Clermont-Auvergne University, UMR 1107-Neuro-Dol
  • 2009-2013: International Doctorate in Neuropharmacology – University of Cádiz (Spain)
  • 2008-2010: DEA in Pharmacology – University of Cádiz (Spain)
  • 2007: Degree in Biology – University of Sevilla (Spain)

Research Theme:

I am interested in the involvement of tryptophan metabolism (precursor of serotonin and kynurenine) and aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhR) in: – the initiation and/or persistence of neuroinflammation at the system level central nervous system during the chronicization of migraine. – resistance to triptans in certain non-responder or partial responder migraine patients. I also study the mechanisms underlying photophobia associated with migraine.

Techniques Used:

Endomicroscopy associated with calcium imaging (Inscopix), immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy, behavior (evaluation of pain, anxiety-depressive disorders, cognitive disorders), molecular biology (western blots, ELISA), electrophysiology.

Functions:

MCU-HDR

Teachings:

Applied biostatistics and modeling in health sciences and paramedical training, as well as neuroscience and biophysics, within the Department of Biophysics and Pharmaceutical Mathematics of the Faculty of Pharmacy.

Responsibilities:

  • Licence 3 Science for Health, pharmacology and nutrition course: UE Analysis and Modeling
  • Certificate of Orthoptics capacity: UE Scientific Method (2nd year)
  • Speech therapy capacity certificate: EU Statistics 1 and 2 (2nd and 5th years)
  • D.E. Occupational therapist: UE Introduction to the research process (3rd year)
