Main achievements
:
Cloning and functional analysis of cilary
neurotrophic factor (CNTF).
Creation and functional analysis of mice mutant for BDNF
(brain-derived neurotrophic factor) (Max-Planck Institute,
Munich, Germany)
Identification of genes expressed in sub-populations of motoneurons.
Elucidation of the role of the ECM molecule reelin in the
migration of hindbrain motoneuron sub-types (INSERM U.382,
Marseille, France)
Research interests
:
Development and connectivity of the somatosensory
neurons of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG). The DRG contains
a functionally diverse population of neurons that are sensitive
to temperature, painful stimuli, touch and muscle contraction.
A functional genomics approach using SAGE banks was employed
to identify genes expressed in sensory neuron sub-types during
development and after peripheral nerve traumatism. The functions
of selected genes in various aspects of sensory neuron development
such as specification, axon growth, peripheral and central
connectivity as well as in their responses to traumatism
are being studied using transgenic mice technology, transfection
of cultured sensory neurons with plasmids and siRNA, transfection
in vivo by intrathecal injection.
