A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

About

Research work

My work aims to study the mechanisms leading to motor neuron degeneration and death in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) using iPSC models. ALS is a heterogeneous disease under different aspects (genetic, clinical). Currently, the mechanisms of the disease are still poorly understood and there is no cure, while the disease is fatal in 2 to 5 years after diagnosis. We have thus constituted a bank of iPSCs from patients with different forms of ALS as well as iPSCs from isogenic or non-isogenic controls. These iPSCs are generated from fibroblasts donated by patients in a very well established regulatory framework. We then developed protocols to differentiate these iPSCs into motor neurons, as well as inflammation cells, macrophages and microglial cells. Our studies aim to compare each of these cell types and to identify differences between patients and controls. These differences are then used as tests to analyze the therapeutic potential of molecules and in particular a molecule of therapeutic interest in collaboration with a start-up. On the other hand, we are studying the interactions between motor neurons and microglial cells or macrophages, in order to find altered pathways that could then be modulated to slow down the progression of the disease in patients.
