Biography
I was born on July 22 nd , 1962, in Strasbourg (France). I received my PhD in 1990 and my qualification for a professorship in 2000, both at the University of Strasbourg. I have been researcher (1991-2002) and research director (2002-2009) at CNRS, before becoming professor at the University of Strasbourg (in 2009). I spent two years as at Alexander von Humboldt at the Institute of Pharmacology of the University of Freibug-im-Breisgau (1991 and 2002). I am the head of the LNCA since January 2013. In this laboratory, the research group I am co-heading with Dr Anne-Laurence Boutillier retrieval mechanisms, including at molecular and systems levels. I am co-author on about 180 publications in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Research Interest
His current research interest is Deep brain stimulation of the ventral midline thalamus to boost memory vividness over time
