Jevita PotheegadooAvec un parcours de neuropsychologue clinicienne, j’apprécie beaucoup de travailler avec des populations cliniques. J’ai appris et continue à apprendre énormément auprès des patients que je rencontre, non seulement sur la pathologie qui les touchent, mais aussi sur la manière d’appréhender la recherche et la clinique.
Après une Licence en Psychologie à l’Université de Strasbourg (France), j’ai effectué en 2005 un Master Professionnel de Neuropsychologie clinique à l’Université de Caen Basse-Normandie (France). J’ai exercé comme neuropsychologue clinicienne en milieu hospitalier (unités de neurologie, et gériatrie), puis j’ai intégré le Département de Psychiatrie du CHU de Strasbourg. Alliant clinique et recherche, j’ai étudié au cours de ma thèse de Doctorat (soutenue en 2014) les troubles de la mémoire autobiographiques dans la schizophrénie (Unité INSERM). J’ai rejoint l’équipe du Prof. Olaf Blanke en 2016 en tant que collaboratrice scientifique.

I obtained my PhD (2012-2018) in KU Leuven/VIB, Belgium where I investigated astrocyte heterogeneity using single cell transcriptomics. During this period I developed tools to acutely and specifically isolate astrocytes from adult brain and identified five astrocyte subtypes in the cortex and hippocampus of mouse brain expanding previous understanding of astrocyte variability.Following my PhD, I did my first post-doc in
