HOUDEAU Eric

ENTeRisk Team Leader

Research Director (DR2) INRAE - PhD, HDR

Leader of the ENTeRisk team, Eric Houdeau joined INRA in 1997 in the Animal Physiology Department (Jouy-en-Josas Center) before joining the Toulouse Center in 2003. With a background in physiology, endocrinology and neuroscience, he studied the hormonal control of intestinal barrier function (regulation of epithelial permeability and the inflammatory response by estrogens) before setting up several research projects on endocrine disruptors in food, in particular bisphenol A (BPA) (INRA press 2010: http://www.inra.fr/Entreprises-Monde-agricole/Resultats-innovation-transfert/Toutes-les-actualites/action-du-Bisphenol-A) (INRA press 2014: http://presse.inra.fr/Communiques-de-presse/Bisphenol-A-et-intolerance-alimentaire-un-lien-etabli-pour-la-premiere-fois). Since 2013, he has been developing national and international collaborative programs in nanotoxicology focusing on the fate and effects in the intestine of nanoparticles used in the agri-food sector (model nanoparticles, food additives with nanosized fractions, for example titanium dioxide E171) (INRA press 2017: http://presse.inra.fr/Communiques-de-presse/Additif-alimentaire-E171). ANSES expert on the "Nano & Food" WG Member of the Scientific Council of the French Society of Nutrition (SFN: http://sf-nutrition.org/) Member of the Scientific Council of the AlimH Department (INRAE)

LAMAS Bruno

Research Manager (CRCN) INRAE, PhD

Bruno Lamas was recruited to INRA in 2017 after having been post-doctoral fellows at the INRA MICALIS Unit (Philippe Langella laboratory, Jouy-en-Josas), at INSERM Hopital Saint Antoine (Harry Sokol laboratory, Paris), then at McMaster University (Elena Verdu laboratory, Hamilton, Canada). In the ENteRisk team, he will focus on the effects of xenobiotics on the microbiota-gut dialogue and the intestinal immune response, from the host development period (consequences for the newborn, then the adult). The objective is to evaluate the role of the intestinal microbiota in the "health" effects of food contaminants and chemical additives, particularly nanoparticles.
