Enseignant Profile

With a long academic career that began in 2003, I have had the opportunity to specialize in dental research. Alongside my clinical practice, I have completed several advanced training programs, including a University Diploma (DU) in Research Training in Dentistry at Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse. This program allowed me to acquire in-depth skills in research methodology, further strengthened by an internship at the university's research laboratory. In addition to the academic carriere a private practice in many private clinics.
