Research program

The main pathologies treated

Each year, we welcome neurosurgeons for periods of 6 months to one year for research projects on the following topics:

– surgical neuroanatomy

– neurosurgical approaches

– study of white matter bundles

– technological developments in neurosurgery

– technical and educational tools in the field of Virtual Reality.

Application form

  • Letter of intent
  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Project proposals (neuroanatomy, development of surgical techniques, development of innovative technologies, etc.)

Requests should be sent by e-mail to Ms Mélanie Trehoux: melanie.trehoux@aphp.fr, copy to Pr S. Froelich, sebastien.froelich@aphp.fr

Once your application has been accepted, the administrative procedure takes around 2 to 3 months to obtain the status of Associate Researcher.

Framing

Our team supervises the trainees:

  • project completion,
  • monitoring project progress at laboratory meetings,
  • assistance with publication of results.

Activity details

Laboratory work is carried out in teams with other research fellows and skull base fellows.

  • Laboratory research,
  • Development of an anatomy collection for students and neurosurgeons,
  • Participation in ongoing clinical, technical and anatomical projects,
  • Observation of the surgical activities of Prof. S. Froelich and Prof. E. Mandonnet, depending on the trainee’s area of interest,
  • Participation in consultations (optional),
  • Participation in department meetings and specialized RCP,
  • Participation in the organization/supervision of training courses – Workshop at IRCAD Strasbourg (2 courses/year) and Lariboisiere Skull Base Masterclass at the laboratory (4 courses/year).

Objectives

2 publications in international peer-reviewed journals.
