François Chevalier, PhD, HDR, has a background in protein
chemistry and molecular biology, and received his doctoral degree in biochemistry
in 2001 from INRA, Nantes, France, for the biochemical characterization of
glycated proteins. He held a 5-year post-doctoral research position in
Montpellier (INRA, France) with a special focus on global analysis of proteins
using two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Following this, he held research
positions in Cork (UCC, Ireland) studying protein quality using
proteomics tools; he is currently employed at CEA (DRF-IRAMIS-CIMAP in Caen) as
a team leader in radiation biology in the ARIA group (Applications in
Radiobiology with Accelerated Ions) of UMR6252 CIMAP. He specializes in the biology of the radiation of
radioresistant cancer models and bystander effects in the context of
hadrontherapy.
