Research theme
Starting 1998, he lunched a new challenge on the preventing role of resveratrol, a well known phytophenol from grape and wine, against age-related pathologies : cancer, inflammation and cardiovascular. With his collaborators, he was one of the first to explore resveratrol metabolism (2004 BBRC), its pro-apoptotic properties (2004 J Biol Chem), and discovered a new resveratrol signaling pathway through micro RNA’s modulation (2010 Carcinogenesis). He is now interested on Mediterranean diet and Health (2021, Molecules).
He awarded several distinctions (Prize at the 16th Oncology and Molecular Medicine at Rhodes, laureat of the APICIL foundation, Palmes academic award and s.o.). In october 2023 he enter in the Top 2% rank published by Standford University with 40 other colleagues of the University of Burgundy (UB) of the most influent of the world.
