Pr. Marchand-Pauvert (Ph.D.) is Research Director at Inserm (National Institute for Health and Medical Research), an equivalent position to University Professor. She is a neurophysiologist with specific expertise in the sensorimotor system. She is mainly involved in studying the corticospinal connectivity underlying voluntary movements in humans. She is particularly well-known for her great knowledge of the human spinal circuitries. Since 2014, she has led the neuroscience team in the Laboratory of Biomedical Imaging at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, where she develops research programs coupling neuroimaging and electrophysiology to better understand the physiology of the human sensorimotor system, the ALS pathophysiology and to identify biomarkers.
