Research interests

How can the outcome of a tissue lesion be directed towards regeneration? All the research projects I have carried out from the beginning of my thesis to the present day have revolved around this question. I first studied neural stem cells and their behaviour following spinal cord and brain tissue injury. I have also developed a strong expertise in the plasticity of adipose tissue-derived stem/stromal cells (ASCs) and I am currently studying more specifically how the peripheral nervous system controls ASCs and tissue regeneration processes
