Géraldine Delbès, PhD

Professor Géraldine Delbès’ research projects aim to determine how exposure to medical or environmental substances, during particularly sensitive periods of life, can alter male fertility and epigenetic inheritance. Evidence is accumulating that exposure to environmental chemicals or medical treatments can adversely affect male reproductive function and intergenerational inheritance. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in these effects are still poorly documented and understood. Professor Delbès and her team are seeking to characterize these mechanisms in immature germ cells, the precursors of spermatogenesis. Using in vivo and in vitro models in rodents and humans, we are studying testicular cells in response to the chemical environment.
