Research

  • My research consists in identifying the molecular mechanisms that control
    neurogenesis and specification during development and neuronal homeostasis in
    adult, with a particular interest for pain-sensing neurons. My projects are
    focused on the interplays between transcription factors and chromatin
    modifying enzymes and how these contribute to the transition between neural
    precursor cell maintenance and differentiation leading to neuronal diversity.
    Moreover, I am also very interested in understanding at the genetic level how
    neuronal cell functions are maintained in the adult, or affected in
    neuropathic pain. Gaining insight into these mechanisms could lead to
    targeted therapies for illnesses such as pain disorders.
    Our current research focuses on the epigenetic control of nociceptor
    differentiation and pain perception.
