After obtaining a master’s degree in Biology & Health and then in Neuropsychology & Clinical Neurosciences at the Paul Sabatier University in France, I pursued a PhD in Neuroscience at the Toulouse Neuroimaging Center (ToNIC / UMR1214) and the Department of Physical Medical & Rehabilitation of the Toulouse University Hospital. I explored the neuroplasticity and recovery potential of innovative therapeutic interventions (non-invasive brain stimulation, motor imagery, virtual reality, pharmacology) for motor rehabilitation of individuals who had suffered a stroke; as well as the optimal assessment tool to highlight such effects. I then joined the Tim & Caroline Reynolds Center for Spinal Stimulation at Kessler Foundation for a postdoctoral fellowship that evolved into an associate research position, to study the effects of non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation on functional recovery after a spinal cord injury (SCI).
By joining the Neuromodulation and Neuroprosthetics Team at the Institute of Neurodegenerative Diseases, I plan to use my acquired knowledge and experience as part of an FRM-funded research project to study the underlying mechanisms and effects of non-invasive brain and spinal electrical stimulation in stroke and SCI.
