About our lab!
Our overall research focus is to understand the mechanisms by which metabolic cues, e.g. nutrients and hormones, interact with the mediobasal hypothalamus to control energy balance and physiology.
More precisely, our team aims to decipher the anatomical and functional interactions between glia and neurons in this brain region by combining neuroanatomical, molecular, and physiological approaches.
We are part of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Lausanne and are located in Rue du Bugnon 7 in Lausanne.
