Sylvain LEHMANN
Head of the laboratory of Biochemistry and Clinical Proteomics
Prof. Sylvain Lehmann M.D., Ph.D. is professor of Biochemistry at the Medical School of Montpellier. His clinical unit at the University Hospital Center (CHU) is in charge of the biological diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders and he recently set up a reference Neurological biobank.
Christophe HIRTZ
Head of the Clinical Proteomics Platform of Montpellier
Full Professor in Clinical Proteomics and Biochemistry, Christophe Hirtz is specialized in clinical assays and R&D activities in the field of clinical proteomics since 1998 and neurodegenerative diseases since 2010. ORCID
Jérôme VIALARET
MASS SPECTROMETRY Specialist - engineer
Aurore ATTINA
MASS SPECTROMETRY ENGINEER - SMART PROJECT MANAGER
« Hello everyone, I’m a mass spectrometry engineer and I joined PPC as the SMART project manager. My role is the development and implementation of methods for the detection and quantification of RNA changes. »
Amandine AMALRIC
PHD STUDENT
« PhD student working on RNA epigenetic : our goals are to investigate the role of mRNA methylation in colorectal cancer progression and to identify potential RNA modification-based biomarkers in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases using mass spectrometry.” ORCID
Alexandre DAVID
Project manager SMART
« My research work focuses on the contribution of post-transcriptional mechanisms on cancer cell adaptation, in particular RNA epigenetic and translational control. To achieve our goals, we have created the S.M.A.R.T. consortium that seeks at developing state-of-the-art tools & methods for studies on RNA epigenetic, in particular for clinical applications. »
Laura FICHTER
Mass spectrometry engineer
« Engineer in mass spectrometry and proteomics, I am in charge of the research project on the TAU protein in multiple neurodegenerative pathologies. »
Jana KINDERMANS
engineer assistant - plasma boost project manager
« Hello! My name is Jana and I’m from Belgium. I’m responsible for the Plasma Boost project: the detection of amyloid peptides in the blood on a MALDI-TOF (concerning Alzheimer’s disease). »
Marie-Laure PONS
PhD student
« I’m a PhD student working on the development of innovative method in mass spectrometry for the discovery of biomarkers in the context of neurodegenerative diseases. »
Pablo MOHAUPT
PhD student
« As a PhD student within the EU-funded MIRIADE consortium (MIRIADE.eu), I’m working on innovative mass spectrometry assays that contribute to the diagnosis of different dementia types. In addition, I aim to unravel the alternative neuroproteome. »
