PhD subject: biophysical restoration of intervertebral discs

My thesis consists to have a better understanding of low back pain by focusing on its impact on vertebral discs. During these 3 years, I will carry out a clinical study, a model of the vertebral disc and its water cycle. This new approach will give us a better understanding of the mechanisms of this pathology and at the end give more appropriate treatments for patients.

I am research scientist (Chargé de recherche) at French Blood Establishment (EFS) affiliated at INSERM U-1059 SAINBIOSE Unit. I work in vascular biology, with a special focus on blood components and platelets, since 2021.

I received my PhD in Immunology & Microbiology in 2015 at Laval University (Québec, Canada). Then I performed several post doc at Laval University (Québec, Canada) between 2015-2016; at Karolinska institutet (Stockholm, Sweden) between 2016-2017; at Heart Institute Ottawa University (Ottawa, Canada) between 2017-2019. Since my return in France, I was appointed as assistant professor at Pharmacology faculty in Aix-Marseille University, in C2VN unit between 2019-2021. I got, in 2021, my permanent position as junior scientist &Principal Investigator at EFS & SAINBIOSE
