About me

Dr. Morisset-Lopez obtained her PhD in Molecular Pharmacology from Paris V University in 1999 and joined the Center of Psychiatry and Neurosciences in Paris in 2002 as CNRS researcher. She is currently a senior scientist at the Center for Molecular Biophysics (Orléans, France) where she leads «Neurobiology of receptors and RNAi for therapeutic innovations” (NeuR2IT) team. Her main research interests focus on G protein-coupled receptors pharmacology and the neurobiological mechanisms underlying central nervous system disorders. Her current studies investigate the pharmacology of the serotonin 5-HT7 receptor, its biased signaling and its role in pain and neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis. To this end, her team develops various cellular assays based on the bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) method for drug screening and the study of cell signaling.
