Yannick Marie's Biography

Yannick Marie, Platform Manager, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie

Yannick MARIE is the manager of the genotyping and sequencing platform at the ICM foundation (Institute of the brain and spinal cord), and in the neuro-oncology team led by Pr. Delattre (Hopital Pitie Salpetriere, PARIS). After one year of work on remyelination and 3 years on complex lipids, Yannick Marie joined the team of Experimental Neuro-Oncology. During the last 15 years, he has studied and has developed new approaches to study brain tumors. He has participated in the validation of certain determinant markers in brain tumor pathology (INA, IDH1…), and in the use of new technological tools for improving both diagnosis and monitoring of this disease (COLD PCR, Digital PCR, work on FFPE samples…). With the creation of the ICM foundation, Yannick MARIE now supports the platform of molecular biology, with larger addressed topics (neurosciences) and the availability of the most Powerful technologies. In the recent years, his work has been refocused on the identification of biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring of diseases affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems.
