Dr. Julien Hering

CEO & founder of Tree of Science, PhD in neuroscience with 10 years experience in research and academic teaching – Training, consulting, coaching in digital research tools and scientific networks (science 2,0), professional networking, digital strategy for all researchers (from PhD students, academic PhDs to R&D researchers) and research organizations

- Expertise in electrophysiology and ion channels (Pharmacology, structure/function, physiology, biology). - Up to date awareness of the state-of-the-art theories, scientific knowledge, technological developments, and competitive aspects in electrophysiology and ion channels. Looking for consulting and new opportunities of scientific researches.

Academic teaching from PBL to lecture courses for student up to the post-graduate level in universities and medical schools (UPMC, UVSQ, Pharmacology university Paris XI, University Paris XIII-Medical School) Neurophysiology, Physiology, neurophysiology and biophysics of audition, sensory systems (with Memory/plasticity and sleep), structure/function of ion channels.

Development of an innovating research project (200K€): electrophysiological investigation of the sound encoding process on adult animals at the cellular level Approaches: Development, design and implementation of assays platform (electrophysiolgy, pharmacology, laser, imaging...) Accomplishments: New animal model; Implementation of an innovating platform; Assays performed on old animals European research network NeuroKCNQpathies: Research, coordination of collaborators, corresponding scientist

Characterization of calcium channels activity in the cerebellum of wild-type and mutant mice of calcium channel (CaV 2.3 vs. CaV3.1). Approaches: electrophysiology, brain slices, pharmacology, ion channels mutant mice, synaptic activity, tissue (organotypic) cultures. Accomplishments: characterization of wild-type vs. mutant mice synaptic activity, brain slice expertise.

Study of T-type calcium channels (CaV 3.x) biophysical properties: inactivation properties, structure/function, role in neuronal activity and network - Laboratory of molecular and cellular neurobiology (ENS, Paris). Advisor: Pr. P. Ascher Approaches: Electrophysiology, biophysics, modelisation, recombinant cell lines, transfection, primary cultures, isolated cells, brain slices Accomplishments: characterization of channel biophysical properties, structure/function models of different brain structures

I have designed and proposed a small research project that was selected to be developed in a host laboratory (Pr. Masao Ito). Challenge: Establish in a fast-paced schedule a new primary neurons culture and an innovative functional assay to study ion channels physiology in the cerebellum. Approach: Primary cell culture, electrophysiology, pharmacology (profiling neuroleptics). Accomplishments: Recordings of isolated cells in culture, validation of pharmacological functional assays and ion channels targets
