Dr. Bloch-Zupan carries her preclinical research at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (CERBM, INSERM U964, CNRS 7104 d’lllkirch, France) studying the physiopathology of developmental anomalies and reproductiong animal models of those diseases. She holds an Honorary Professor position of University College London, Eastman Dental Institute. In 2015, she received the Sciences Price from the Rhenane Academy.
She created, developed and is using original research tools such as a transcriptomic atlas, standard operating procedures for mouse oral cavity phenotyping, next generation sequencing, attempting to improve knowledge and understanding of etiopathology responsible for these orodental anomalies.
In the frame of her fellowship, Agnes Bloch Zupan is working on a clinically-based model for improving alveolar bone growth and osseointegration.
