I was initially a zoologist, with some expertise on molluscs, I became a cell biologist, with expertise in cellular neurobiology, glia, electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis. I was particularly interested lately in human skin and axonal transport.

As a citizen, I feel concerned by the maintenance and well being of our world ecosystem and I do not want to hide that I am a member of the french green party (Les Verts).
