Principal Investigators

Dr. Vincent Prévot, Ph.D
Lab Director
Lead researcher and head of the laboratory
Vincent Prevot’s research focuses on Systems Neuroscience and Neuroendocrinology, in particular the brain circuits that control reproduction and metabolism and the neural pathways through which they respond to peripheral information.
Group Leader Principal Investigator
Expert on developmental neuroscience and neuronal migration.
Paolo Giacobini’s research focuses on understanding the neuronal control of reproduction and the molecular mechanisms underlying fertility disorders.
Group Leader Principal Investigator
Expert in the neuroendocrinology of obesity. Sebastien’s general research interest is to study the role of the perinatal environment and neurodevelopmental mechanisms in lifelong obesity and metabolism.Find out more about Sebastien’s work.
Dr Virginie Mattot, Ph.D.
Principal Investigator &
Group Leader
Expertise in : Vascular biology (angiogenesis, endothelial activation, endothelial cell functions and properties) and vascular extracellular matrix. Ongoing projects: Tissue biophysical properties in the communication between the periphery and the brain: specific roles of blood vessels and extracellular matrix.
Dr. Ines Martinez Corral
Principal Investigator &
Group Leader
With a strong background in vascular biology, my research focuses on the study of the interactions between endothelial cells and tanycytes in the median eminence of the hypothalamus, and on the communication between tanycytic populations.
Dr. Marc Baroncini, M.D, Ph.D.
Principal Researcher & Neurosurgeon (CHRU)
Marc is a neurosurgeon, hospital practitioner at the University Hospital of Lille. He is interested in the anatomy of the hypothalamus, hypothalamic control of metabolism and deregulation in eating disorders. He is also involved in the surgical pathology of cerebrospinal fluid.
