Researcher CR INRAE (Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement). The first part (Ph.D. 1996) was focused on the study of the cellular and molecular events involved in odorant molecules detection leading to identify the honeybee queen pheromone binding protein. After several years devoted to the study of olfactory sensory neuron genesis and regenerescence in vertebrates, the scientific background in the context of cell signaling pathways regulated by chemical senses gave the opportunity to explore metabolic cell signaling by adipokines, such as adiponectin and leptin, fatty acids and glucose through the development of new in vitro cell culture and co-cultures models (adipocytes, intestinal barriers, cancer cells, etc.). Research Area: The study of molecular and cellular events regulated by environmental cues such as food exosomes, nanoparticles, and bacterial pathogens in intestinal, respiratory, and olfactory epithelia using in vitro cell culture and co-culture models.
