Julien Saint-Pol is born the 2nd of April 1987 in France, and after brilliantstudiesin Biology (specialized in Cell and Molecular Biology), he got his Ph.D in Life Science in 2013 in the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with a study focused on the impact of oxysterols in Aß peptides transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in vitro. He then pursued as a post-doctoral fellow on the tight regulation of the metalloprotease ADAM10 by tetraspanins and completed his skills in biochemistry, cell-cell communication ways and in vivo models. He obtained his Assistant Professor position in September 2017 in the University of Artois (Faculty of Science in Lens) and focused in cell-cell communications at the BBB side and the enlarged area surrounding the BBB reffered to as the neurovascular unit (NVU) with the main goal to find how to detect and to predict the transport of early biomarkers of AD through the BBB.
