Hélène Cheval obtained her thesis in 2009 at the Université Paris XI, where she studied the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying learning, memory and synaptic plasticity in rodents. She strengthened her expertise in the phenotypic characterization of rodents during a post-doctoral study at the University of Edinburgh (Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology) on mouse models of Rett syndrome. Hélène Cheval has been a lecturer at the Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris VI) since 2013. She joined the Biotechnology and Biotherapy team in 2015 and is working on the identification of the repertoire of long non-coding RNAs in human dopaminergic neurons and their potential involvement in Parkinson’s disease.
