معرفی
Philippe Garnier is a Professor at the University of Burgundy's UFR des Sciences de Santé (Faculty of Health Sciences). His research focuses on neuroplasticity mechanisms, particularly the link between physical activity and brain health through BDNF produced by cerebral endothelium. He holds a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology from the University of Burgundy (2001) and an HDR (2008), allowing him to supervise PhD students. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship at UCSF (2002-2004) under Prof. R. Swanson, specializing in neurology.
His work demonstrates that cerebral endothelium is a major BDNF source responsive to physical activity, suggesting critical roles in vasomotricity and neuroplasticity. Current projects include developing electromyostimulation protocols to assess neuroprotection effects. Key publications (2016-2024) explore BDNF mechanisms in exercise, rheumatoid arthritis, and cerebrovascular health. His research integrates structural biochemistry, molecular biology, and translational neurology.
His lab affiliations include the Marey Centre and CEP PIT platforms. Collaborations focus on cerebral BDNF pathways, endothelial dysfunction in arthritis, and exercise-induced neuroprotection. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but his work appears in high-impact journals like Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism and Frontiers in Neuroscience.
