A brief description of your work

Doctor of Pharmacy (pharmacy stream, 2012), Doctor of Biology, specializing in Neuroscience (2017) and Diploma in the History of Medicine (2020), I carry out my research activities at the University of Rennes, the Rennes University Hospital, the Rennes Institute of Clinical Neuroscience and the company France Développement Electronique.

My research themes revolve around apomorphine, Parkinson's disease (therapeutics, palliative care,...), addictions, as well as the history of neuroscience and pharmacy.

The lessons learned from my professional experience as a pharmacist and researcher specializing in Parkinson's disease have been brought together in the book "Conseiller et accompagner le patient atteint de la maladie de Parkinson à l'officine", published in February 2023 by Le Moniteur des Pharmacies.

My work was awarded the Prix de l'Ordre National des Pharmaciens in November 2023.

I'm currently an active member of several committees & working groups within the Movement Disorders Society (MDS) and the International Neuropalliative Care Society (INPCS).
Finally, I'm heavily involved in popular science events, and have held the position of local manager for Brain Week in Rennes since 2016.
