Biography
Bruno J Gonzalez is PhD Researcher at the National Institute for Medical Research and Head of the NeoVasc Laboratory “Microvascular Endothelium and Neonatal Brain Lesions”, Normandy University, France. He developed a research program on pathologic neurodevelopment in preterm and term neonates with a particular attention to neurovascular defects. His working hypotheses are (1) microvessels contribute to injurious mechanisms with age-dependent specificities, (2) microvessels are targets for therapeutic actions, and (3) brain microvessels release factors with biomarker potential. Focusing on NMDA receptors, his objectives consist of molecular and functional characterizations of endothelial and neuronal interactions (GABA interneurons) and of deleterious/side effects of drugs (alcohol, anesthetics).
