Biography

Isabelle Brunet is a neuroscientist who has established her research line at the interface between neuroscience and vascular biology. She worked during her PhD in axon guidance in the visual system and then she moved to vascular biology and angiogenesis field to investigate the guidance of vascular endothelial cells and how development of the nervous and vascular system is orchestrated during development. 

She is now deciphering how neurovascualr interactions develop and become functional. She was awarded in 2014 an Inserm permanent position to establish her team in the CIRB in the College de France, in Paris. The focus of her team is to understand how the neuronal and vascular system interact and can interfere in health and diseases.
