Biography
Recruited by the CNRS, she joined IGF, where her research focuses on the functioning and signaling of GPCR oligomers, specifically glutamate and GABA receptors. She is also involved in the development of nanobodies targeting these receptors as pharmacological tools with strong therapeutic potential.
Since joining IBMM in 2021, she continues her studies on GPCR signaling and associated molecular mechanisms, using the ghrelin receptor as a model. Beyond the fundamental interest, this work also aims to better characterize the mechanisms involved in pathologies associated with the ghrelin receptor, such as addiction and metabolic diseases.
