Cécile Moro studies the use of near-infared light to treat Parkinson’s disease in the French Alps.
A demonstration model shows the position of an experimental brain implant for treating Parkinson’s disease using near-infrared light, developed by the Grenoble-based research institute CEA-Leti and its partners.Cécile Moro is a biologist at CEA-Leti, an electronics and information-technology research institute at the government-funded Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission in Grenoble, France.
How did you become involved in research on using NIR light to slow the progress of Parkinson’s disease? From 2009 I worked at Clinatec, a biomedical research centre in Grenoble, which was established by CEA-Leti and the CHU to bring researchers, physicians and engineers together. I was working on a brain–computer interface, carrying out preclinical tests on a device that decodes electrical signals in the brains of people who have lost limbs, so they can control prosthetic arms or move using exoskeletons.
