I am an INSERM Research Director, at the university of Lorraine and Inserm laboratory (UMR_S 1116) in Nancy. I am currently the leader of the “Vascular stiffness-inflammation-thrombosis” team and the deputy director at UMR_S 1116..

My expertise is at the forefront of research on the monitoring and mechanisms of thrombin generation in the presence of blood cells or vascular cell surface with a recent focus on neutrophil extracellular trap-driven coagulopathy. I have long-standing experience in the field of coagulation and thrombin-vessel wall interactions and is internationally recognized for my expertise in both basic and clinical aspects of arterial wall structure and function. My recent work has been focused on the relation between arterial stiffness and coagulation and the critical role of vascular smooth muscle cells in vascular diseases.
