Research interests

I am interested by the nature, the roles and the fates of endogenous native Adipose Stromal Cells (ASC). Consequently, for the last 15 years, I have investigated native ASCs from both human and murine origin and more particularly their in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo motile activity. My scientific objective is to understand the role of ASCs mobilization from adipose tissue towards distant organs in physiology and pathophysiology.
