Expertise de recherche

Recherche fondamentale: caractérisation de la neuroplasticité fonctionnelle dans le vieillissement, la santé mentale et les maladies neurodégénératives (focus: schizophrénie, maladie de Parkinson, démence). 

Recherche clinique: déterminants sociaux du vieillissement sain et pathologique et des maladies neurodégénératives - une double perspective: l'individu et son milieu de soins.
