My research combines neurobiology, immunology, technological developments and clinical data to better understand how the sensory nervous system can regulate the activation of immune cells. After a thesis in immunology (2009-2012) that I completed at the Toulouse Purpan physiopathology centre in the laboratory of Salvatore Valitutti (co-supervised by Eric Espinosa), I joined the laboratory of Stephen J. Galli at Stanford University in the United States as a postdoctoral researcher for a period of 4 years. In 2017, I returned to France in the Unit of Epithelial Differentiation and Rheumatoid Autoimmunity in Toulouse with European Marie Curie funding. In 2018, I was ranked first at the CNRS and second at Inserm in immunology in the competition for research officer (I chose to join Inserm) and was consecutively laureate of the ATIP-Avenir and ERC Starting programmes. The following year I created the "Neural regulation of the immune system" or "Immception (www.immception.com)" team thanks to the support of ERC funding. Today I lead a team of about 10 people and am starting to get involved at local and national level to promote the development of research.
