Robin de Flores

Researcher

I am interested in characterizing alterations in key brain regions, such as the medial temporal lobe (MTL) and the locus coeruleus, in both normal and pathological aging. More specifically, I use ultra-high-resolution neuroimaging tools, both in vivo and ex vivo, to better understand the mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases and to identify diagnostic and prognostic markers.

I did my PhD, entitled “Structural, functional and molecular alterations of hippocampal subfields and their networks in normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease”, under the supervision of Gael Chételat from 2013 to 2016. I then moved to Philadelphia for a two-year postdoc to continue exploring the MTL with Pr David Wolk and Pr Paul Yushkevich. I came back to Caen in January 2020, riding a seahorse.
