I completed my neurology residency in Florence, Italy, where I developed a strong passion for clinical neurology and stroke care. Following this, I pursued a research fellowship at the Hemorrhagic Stroke Research Center, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, focusing on MRI markers of cerebral small vessel disease, particularly in the context of intracerebral hemorrhage. After my fellowship in Boston, I completed a clinical fellowship and a PhD at Lille University Hospital. My doctoral research focused on the long-term clinical outcomes of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, deepening my expertise in this field. I am now Professor of Neurology and Head of the Stroke Unit at Tours University Hospital, France. From September 2025 I have the privilege to be the director of the University Training Center in Speech Therapy (CFUO) of Tours.
Research Areas: Cerebral small vessel disease, intracerebral haemorrhage, cerebellar haemorrhage, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, covert brain infarction.
