After finishing my Ph.D. in biophysics and magnetic resonance imaging from Blaise Pascal University of Clermont-Ferrand in 2012, I joined the National Institute on Aging (NIA) as a Postdoctoral Visiting Fellow, Research Fellow, and Staff Scientist at the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation from 2012 until 2020. In 2020, I obtained the Stadtman Investigator Award. I am currently serving as a Principal Investigator and the Chief of the Magnetic Resonance Physics of Aging and Dementia (MRPAD) Unit at the NIA of the National Institutes of Health. The MRPAD Unit performs biophysical and physiological studies of the human central nervous system (CNS). The overarching mission of MRPAD is to establish links between functional and structural changes that occur in normative aging and age-related diseases, and to develop accurate pre-symptomatic biomarkers that will assist with differential diagnosis, characterize the rate of disease progression, and facilitate development of therapeutics.
