Contract Researcher ; WATCH project
Development and plasticity of the neuroendocrine brain
Presentation
Located on the campus of the CHU de Lille, the main objective of our laboratory is to decipher the complex dialogue that takes place between the brain and the rest of the body: the role played by the hypothalamus in the control of metabolism and reproduction, and the consequences of a deregulation of this dialogue on the body’s homeostasis, cognitive functions and brain aging. Our laboratory has an international dimension, bringing together the skills of neuroscientists and physicians specialized in reproductive and metabolic disorders and neurosurgery. We work in permanent collaboration with numerous research teams around the world.

Interactions between hypothalamic neuroendocrine systems and peripheral hormones are increasingly thought to play a fundamental role in postnatal brain development, the impairment of which lies at the origin of several major neurological and psychiatric disorders. In addition, over the last few years, evidence has been accumulating for the involvement of central neurohormone imbalances in both the pathophysiology of cognitive disorders, such as certain early-onset dementias, and in the pathophysiology of metabolic and reproductive disorders such as obesity and infertility. Our laboratory examines how chemotropic factors and peripheral hormones (estrogen, leptin, AMH…) impact hypothalamic development and function, as well as the importance of non-neuronal cells (tanycytes, astrocytes and endothelial cells) in this dialogue between the periphery and the central nervous system.
Abbreviations: ARH/me: arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus/médian eminence; GnRH: gonadotropin releasing hormone; POA: preoptic region; PVH: Periventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus; DMH: dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus; LHA: lateral hypothalamic area; AMH: anti-Mullerian hormone.
Our Lab is also actively involved in several Local (FHU 1000 days for Health, DN2M), National (Société de Neuroendocrinologie (SNE), GDR repro, Société des neurosciences (http://www.neurosciences.asso.fr), Club de cellules gliales) and International research networks including LARC-Neurosciences, GnRH network, and FENS.
It also aims to evaluate how pathological conditions (obesity, diabetes etc.) affect these neurobiological events and, conversely, how the impairment of communication between the brain and the periphery renders the organism prone to developing such conditions (obesity, diabetes, precocious and/or delayed puberty and infertility). Our laboratory brings together in a single setting a wide range of theoretical knowledge and technical expertise in its fields of research and is able to investigate physiological and pathological processes from the molecular and genetic/epigenetic levels to that of human patients, thanks to the close interaction between basic scientists and clinicians. For the excellence of our work, our laboratory has been classified as “remarkable” (the highest “grade” attributed to French research laboratories) by our evaluating bodies in 2014 and 2019.
