Jean-Michel Schermann is a specialist in the mechanisms of drug transport across the blood-brain barrier. The beginning of Jean-Michel Scherrmann's scientific career in the 1970s was contemporaneous with the rise of radioimmunology, which he applied to drugs and toxic substances, developing polyclonal and then monoclonal antibodies. This method of analysis will open up numerous applications in clinical pharmacology and toxicology, the most significant of which has been the pharmacokinetics of digitalis in the elderly, morphine after intrathecal or epidural administration, and colchicine in its various therapeutic indications and in intoxications acute. These same antibodies will subsequently be used as an antidote to acute poisoning. His main contribution was to succeed in the first application of anti-colchicine antibody Fab fragments in man to treat colchicine intoxication. This clinical success expressed a new scientific message about the ability of an antibody to remotely induce the displacement of a quasi-irreversible intracellular drug. This clinical success has paved the way for immune-toxic therapy, which takes advantage of the ability of an antibody to sequester and then eliminate a toxicant. This concept of immunotoxic therapy, Was extended to antivenom treatments, then to cerebral detoxification by tricyclic antidepressant antibodies and abuse drugs such as cocaine. This last area has opened to Jean-Michel Scherrmann the way for in-depth research on protective mechanisms and passage through the blood-brain barrier. With his colleagues, he establishes the first quantitative proteomic analysis of the main enzymes of metabolism and membrane transporters (in particular the ABC proteins) at the level of the human blood-brain barrier. The functional role of ABC proteins in brain defense mechanisms has been amply illustrated by his team as a source of vulnerability and variability of responses to psychoactive compounds. In the field of exchanges at the level of the blood-brain interface, his team is looking for new strategies for brain addressing of drugs, by coupling to vector peptides recognizing the molecular targets of the blood-brain barrier. Jean-Michel Scherrmann is currently Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy at the Paris-Descartes University and Director of the Joint Research Unit (Inserm 705 / CNRS 8206) "Neuropsychopharmacology of addictions". The laboratory's scientific project concerns the identification of neurobiological, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacogenetic factors of vulnerability and variability affecting addictive behavior, both in terms of exposure to natural and synthetic drugs and to associated therapies including Treatments with psychoactive substances and substitutes such as methadone and buprenorphine.

Clinical Investigation - I graduated from the Masters Degree in Clinical Investigation program in 2013. I have reviewed several publications related to the diagnostic marker discovery. In addition, I have been invited to write a chapter entitled: diagnostic markers for hemorrhagic shock (date for submission: November 1st 2015, for "Advances in Clinical Chemistry"; Elsevier). Proteomics - The goal of proteomics research is to detect and measure the concentration of all proteins present in body fluids or in tissue during the pathological process. The composition of all proteins and their concentration may be a distinguishing characteristic of disease, and it may be used as a diagnostic marker. For biomarker discovery, a proteomics approach differs significantly from traditional single target methodology. In the proteomics approach, an entire collection of protein is identified and characterized as the test group of a particular disease and is subsequently compared to the protein collection from the control group. The differing protein is identified and subsequently tested during the confirmatory investigation in a clinical setting. The scale of experimentation and amount of data produced by proteomics is enormous, which requires a more systematic approach than conventional methodology. As an expert in proteomics, I have written two book chapters and a new revised chapter will be sent to publisher on July 31,2015.

Thomas Prevenslik is a retired American living in Hong Kong and Berlin. Because classical physics does not work at the nanoscale, he developed the theory of QED radiation based on quantum mechanics. QED here is simple form of light-matter interaction advanced by Feynman and others. By QED theory, conservation of energy in nanoparticles cannot proceed by temperature changes as the heat capacity of the atom vanishes. Instead, QED produces UV radiation that damages DNA of nearby cells and if not repaired by the immune system may cause cancer.

QED radiation is applicable to nanobiotechnology, and the instant topic of cancer from nanoparticles in GM foods.

My professional interest is mainly centered on the application of phenomenology in the practical work of psychotherapy and psychotherapy research. It works with an open approach to what appears to the subject involved and seems to be essential for them. This implies qualitative research methods which supersede quantitative data thanks to more possibilities of interpretation and gaining specific, personalized information. Apart of this the theme of what consists our existence, its fundamental dimensions and processes is in the center of my interest. From hence derives my interest in personality disorders, also seen from an existential perspective

Our studies are focused on the mechanism of formation and physiological consequences of the cytopathology of Alzheimer disease. We have shown that oxidative damage is the initial cytopathology in Alzheimer disease. We are working to determine the sequence of events leading to neuronal oxidative damage and the source of the increased oxygen radicals. Our current studies focus on (i) the mechanism for RNA-based redox metal binding; (ii) the consequences of RNA oxidation on protein synthesis rate and fidelity; (iii) the role of redox active metals in mediating prooxidant and antioxidant properties; (iv) the signal transduction pathways altered in Alzheimer disease that allow neurons to evade apoptosis; and (v) mechanism of phosphorylation control of oxidative damage to neurofilament proteins

Organophosphorus compounds (Ops) induce neurodegenerative disorders. This action is related to their ability to phosphorylate target proteins. Ops have three distinct actions: 1) Cholinergic neurotoxicity resulting from inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), 2) Organophosphorus ester-Induced Delayed Neurotoxicity (OPIDN), and 3) Organophosphorus ester-Induced Chronic Neurotoxicity (OPICN). Our recent studies using gene expression of rat brain, 15 min and 3 months after exposure to sarin, elucidated the sarin-induced neurotoxicity. A lethal dose of sarin caused up-regulation of nicotinic, muscarinic, GABAnergic and glutamergic receptors, consistent with the activation of glutamate receptors leading to the release of l-glutamate amino acid and activation of NMDA receptor resulting in massive Ca2+ influx and neuronal cell death. Calcium calmodulin kinase II was up-regulated in brain regions that are sensitive to OPIDN. This enzyme that is involved with glutamate receptors in the process of learning and memory is activated by Ca2+ influx through NMDA receptors resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction and free radical formation, followed by caspase activation and apoptotic cell death.
