Malvyne ROLLI-DERKINDEREN

Malvyne ROLLI-DERKINDEREN serves as a CNRS Research Director at Inserm U1235 TENS (The Enteric Nervous System In Gut And Brain Disorders) within the University of Nantes Faculty of Medicine, specializing in neurogastroenterology and enteric nervous system pathophysiology.

Her academic credentials include:

• Habilitation to Direct Research (2015, University of Nantes)
• Doctorate in Life Sciences - Neurosciences (1999, Humbold Universität-Berlin and Pierre and Marie Curie University-Paris 6; very honorable mention with Jury congratulations)

Her research investigates enteric glial cell mechanisms in digestive inflammation and gut-brain axis disorders, with clinical implications for gastrointestinal disease pathogenesis. This work bridges molecular neuroscience, gastroenterology, and neuroimmunology through experimental models of intestinal pathophysiology.

Professional recognition includes the CNRS Bronze Medal (2010).

She actively mentors 5 doctoral candidates, 9 master's students, and 4 undergraduate researchers while leading national projects (ANR TACI, Prolific-MICI, Mibiogate-MICI). Her academic service encompasses editorial roles at the American Journal of Physiology - Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology and Frontiers in Neuroscience - Autonomic Neuroscience.

As core faculty in the TENS research unit, she directs investigations into enteric nervous system dysfunction across gut and brain disorders through multidisciplinary collaborations.
