Quentin R. R. Coquerel De Gracia

Dr. Quentin R. R. Coquerel De Gracia is a neuroscientist specializing in olfactory signal processing, neurotoxicology, and electrophysiology. He employs insect models such as fruit flies, locusts, and mosquitoes, alongside mammalian and human studies, to investigate neural networks, sensory processing, and memory formation.

• Education: Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Rouen Medecine School (2011), M.Sc. in Neuroscience from University of Rouen (2007), and M.Sc. in Neuroscience from University of Angers (2006)

His research spans depression, eating disorders, and neurotoxicology, with a focus on neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and bioassay techniques. Since 2020, he has worked with the Raman Lab to develop a hybrid two-photon/light-sheet microscopy system for functional imaging of dual neuronal populations in Drosophila odorant responses. His work integrates imaging, electrophysiology, and behavioral studies across species including mice, rats, Xenopus, and humans.

Recent publications highlight his expertise in voltage-gated ion channels, structure-activity relationship analysis for insecticides, and the use of plant alkaloids in neurotoxicology. His studies on mosquito repellency and neurophysiology underscore applications in vector control and sensory pathway modulation.
