Elisa, Professor of Toxicology, prepared a thesis in pharmaco-toxicology of G-protein coupled receptors, within Pierre Fabre Laboratories. After a post-doctorate at Inserm (Laboratory of Biology and Digestive Pathology) and a temporal position as associate Professor, Elisa was recruited as a lecturer in Toxicology in 2005 at Toulouse University-Faculty of Pharmacy. She first worked in epidemiology and public health, in collaboration with the Institute of Public Health, Epidemiology and Development (ISPED) of Bordeaux in the context of occupational exposure to pesticides. In order to develop molecular epidemiology projects, Elisa joined the team of Bernard Salles at IPBS (Institute of Pharmacology and Structural Biology of Toulouse) and ToxAlim in 2011, where she first studied pesticides and their ability to generate DNA damage in farmers' cohorts. She has diversified her research by studying the genotoxicity of pesticides and other contaminants on relevant experimental cellular models in the context of xenobiotics exposure. Elisa joined the TIM team in early 2022. She is notably developing a project there on the toxicity of pesticides, with a collaboration with the CRCT (Toulouse Cancer Research Center).
