Team ImaPath Institut de Neurosciences de la timone, AMU CNRS UMR 7289 Campus Timone, Aix Marseille Université, Marseille, France Franck Debarbieux is the leader of the IMAPATH team at the Institute for Neuroscience Timone (AMU-CNRS, France). Initially graduated as an engineer in physics and chemistry from E.S.P.C.I. (Paris-Tech Grande Ecole, 1997), he obtained a PhD in Neuroscience from Paris 6 University (2002) and was hired as a Research Scientist at RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan. In 2005 he became Assitant Professor at Aix Marseille University and devoted himself to preclinical brain imaging. His team takes advantage of multicolor 2P and CARS microscopies to study the dynamic neuroinflammatory processes at play in the pathological central nervous system as well as their impact on neuronal functions. The methodological and fundamental efforts of the team are finally transferred to applicative research in the context of the European FET project (Neurofibres) to develop neuroregenerative prosthetic implants. |
