Short Biography

 

  • Her research focus on nutrition and redox biology. She has published more than 80 articles submitted to review committees. She investigates oxidative stress and redox biology induced by ageing, iron, western-diet on insulin-resistance and on brain and the possible amelioration of these effects with proper nutrients. She has developed oxidative stress methods like the comet assay to assess DNA damage on blood. She analyzed oxidative stress during ageing and under other oxidative stress/inflammatory conditions (high glucose), in conjunction with changes in cellular function and signal transduction on brain. Notably, she has shown that a high iron status increase hyperglycemia and DNA damage during early pregnancy both on experimental model and clinical study. She has shown that phenolic compounds (i.e cinnamon, green tea and blueberries extracts) have beneficial effects on glucose tolerance, including enhanced glucose and redox signaling and prevent oxidative and inflammatory damage on brain. Her research has been done on cells, animals and she conducted and collaborated to several clinical nutrient studies on healthy populations (adult, elderly and pregnant women).
  • She collaborates with international team at the Human Nutrition Research Center on Ageing (Boston, USA); Medical University of Colorado (Aurora, USA).
  • Member of the American Society of Nutrition (ASN)
  • President of SFERETE (French-speaking society for research on trace elements) (2006-2013)

 

Key research objectives

 

  • Determine the mechanisms by which selected nutrients influence redox-signaling.
  • Determine the relationships between specific foods, nutrients, and other bioactive dietary components and healthy ageing, such as cognitive function
