As an ATER, I work in the PPC laboratory as well as at the University of Dentistry. My research topic is targeted mass spectrometry projects for the quantification of biomarkers and high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Alexandre DAVID

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.”

Margaux VIGNON

Margaux VIGNON

PhD student - Periodentist

As a dentist specializing in periodontology, I divide my time between my hospital work at Montpellier University Hospital, my university work at Montpellier University of Odontology and my research work at the PPC. I’m currently in the second year of my PhD, working on salivary biomarkers of periodontitis. ORCID

Florine LEIPP

Florine LEIPP

PhD student

“Hello! As a student in a CIFRE thesis, funded by Shimadzu, my thesis project aims to develop a targeted LC-MS/MS method for the detection of the main blood biomarkers of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in particular. This method would provide an innovative diagnostic tool and an alternative to invasive CSF assays.”

Stéphane MUCCIO

Stéphane MUCCIO

PhD student

“Hello, I’m doing a thesis in collaboration with SANOFI, on the development of innovative methods using the hybrid LBA-LCMS technique (capture by immuno-affinity combined with liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry) for the analysis and quantification of biomarker, therapeutic or anti-drug antibodies in support of preclinical and clinical studies.”

Doryan MASMOUDI

Doryan MASMOUDI

PhD student

“As a doctoral student co-supervised by Prof. C. Panabières (LCCRH), I am studying the characterisation of the surfaceome of circulating metastasis-initiating tumour cells (CTCs). More specifically, the mechanisms by which CTCs evade the immune system and new therapeutic targets in immuno-oncology.”
