MME Paula Pousinha

Paula ANTUNES POUSINHA PhD, HDR, Full Professor. Director of the Institut Innovation et Partenariat Ageing & Well-being, Director of the EMJM Biology of Ageing. PhD in Biomedical Sciences (2012) in the laboratory of Dr. Joaquim Ribeiro, Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon, Portugal. Postdoctorate (2012 - 2017) at the Institut Pharmacologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire (IPMC), CNRS UMR 7275, in Dr. Hélène Marie's team. The research, which I am developing at IPMC, with own funding (ANR JC JC, among others) focuses on the study of cognitive trajectories in normal ageing and the study of synaptic mechanisms associated to negative trajactories, in particular associated to Alzheimer's disease.
