Dr. Coizet completed his PhD in the Laboratory of Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience (LN2C, UMR 752, University Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg). He then became a post-doctoral research assistant with Peter Redgrave and Paul Overton in Sheffield (UK). His research focused in large part on the basal ganglia and related structures, especially sensori-motor structures from the brainstem. He was appointed to an INSERM permanent research position at the Grenoble institute of neuroscience in 2009. His research project focused on the anatomical and functional link between the sensori-motor structures from the brainstem and the subthalamic nucleus. In Grenoble, he established multi sites in vivo single unit and field potential recordings within this network and equipped the laboratories for all kinds of sensory stimulations (visual, audition, pain …). These electro-physiological techniques are routinely combined with neuroanatomical tract tracing and immuno-histochemistry. He took advantage of his new working environment favoring clinical and pre-clinical research to study this network in Parkinson’s disease and animal models of this disease. This research combines electrophysiology with neuroimaging (functional magnetic resonance imaging) via well-established collaborative national and international collaborators.

cn_ebm_fallarino-f_001 Fallarino Francesca Department of Experimental Medicine University of Perugia Perugia Italy

Francesca Fallarino is an associate professor at the University of Perugia (Italy), department of experimental Medicine. Francesca Fallarino’s reseach focus is on the study of the specific mechanisms involved in immune regulation. In this field, she has greatly contributed to the subject of immune tolerance, providing evidence that: (a) tryptophan catabolism in tolerogenic dendritic cells can exert profound immunoregulatory effects on T lymphocytes as well as on otherwise immunostimulatory dendritic cells (DCs); (b) kynurenines, the products of tryptophan catabolism, can regulate neuroinflammation and in autoimmunity through the activation of specific receptors.
