I studied veterinary medicine at the french veterinary school in Lyon. I obtained a master degree in experimental toxicology, pharmacology and pharmacokinetics at the faculty of Pharmacy, University of Lyon (France). I then crossed the channel and move to Edinburgh where I did a PHD at the "Dick vet" veterinary school on the pharmacology of GABA receptors in Nematodes. I went back to France and did a post doc at the University of Tours on cardiac electrophysiology. Now I'am professor of Physiology at the university of Tours, in charge with a master degree in reproductive biology. I do my research in a INRA centre (Institut de la recherche agronomique), and I'm interested in GnRH secretion and its regulation.
