Professeur Jean-Baptiste Michel
The Prix Danièle Hermann 2004 has been awarded to Mr. Jean-Baptiste Michel
Director for Research, 1. Class at INSERM. He received the prize for his research on the anomalies and the ageing of the cardiovascular system. Interested in biology from very young age on, Jean-Baptiste Michel decided to study medicine. He was influenced by his tutors, Paul Milliez et Charles Dubost, directed his studies on the cardiovascular system, and, which is exceptional, has a double qualification for surgery (internat, clinical) and physiology (official Thesis).
Since then, he has directed his work on experimental physiology of tissues and cells and cardiovascular therapeutics. Due to his qualification as surgeon, he focused on experimental models “in vivo” of cardiovascular diseases. He studied the pathological human tissues with keeping in mind to combine biology and pathology.
Jean-Baptiste Michel has shown spectacularly how solid surgical experience, combined with fundamental research work, leads to first class discoveries on anomalies of the cardiovascular system, particularly on its ageing.
