After training in Animal Physiology and Toxicology, I'm now expanding my knowledge to behavioral sciences. My main thesis objective is the development of detection methodologies for the assessment of chemical risk in living beings. To do this, I study the behavioral effects on Zebrafish and Daphnia magna. Combined with other analytical results (MSMS, biomarkers, NA amplification...) they provide me a multi-scale response in order to understand the neuropathological mechanims in these models
NeuroTICs
New generation of drugs protecting against neurotoxic industrial chemicals
Human brain is a great target for chemical terrorism, so NATO nations should be prepared to respond effectively to terrorist threats involving neurotoxic industrial chemicals (neuroTICs). The main objective of this project is to assess the therapeutic potential of AD4 and thioredoxin-mimetic peptides, blood-brain barrier permeable drugs targeting oxidative stress, apoptosis and inflammation, on acute neurotoxic syndromes induced by three common TICs (organophosphorus compounds, acrylamide, organic mercury). Moreover, specific combinations of drugs derived from the analysis of potential therapeutic targets for each toxidrome will be also tested.
