Background

About Patrick Pierre Michel

Patrick Pierre Michel holds a Doctorate in Pharmacy [1985] and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience [1990] from University Claude Bernard (Lyon 1). He worked previously in both academic and pharmaceutical environments. He has solid expertise in cellular pharmacology and developed several cell culture models for investigating mechanisms of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. Some of these models are currently applied for phenotypic screening approaches and structure-activity relationship studies in collaboration with medicinal chemists. Although the research work is essentially centered on cell-based assays, animal models have been also implemented in some research studies, generally in complement to the in vitro work. Besides his research work, Patrick Pierre Michel administered a cell culture facility (>200 users), at the Paris Brain Institute [2011-2021]. His current research interests focus on neurodegenerative events involved in Parkinson's disease and related disorders with a particular interest in the role played by amyloid-type protein aggregation, oxidative stress, and inflammatory processes in disease progression. He is the inventor of several patents and the author or co-author of 114 original publications (H index 48). ORCID ID
