Prof Bertrand Mollereau is the head of the “Regulated Cell Death and Genetics of Neurodegeneration” at the Laboratory of Biology and Modelling of the Cell of the ENS of Lyon. In 2017, he was nominated senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France, a prestigious recognition of his scientific career. B. Mollereau is an international expert on neurodegeneration, autophagy, ER stress and Parkinson’s disease, topics on which he published more than 60 publications. In 2019, his group initiated a research project on BPAN using Drosophila as model to study the importance of autophagy and ER stress.
Organizing Committee
Chloé Angelini 
Geneticist, University of Bordeaux, College of Health Science
Member of the scientific council of the association Autour du BPAN, Professor Gaëtan LESCA is a geneticist at the Hospices Civils de Lyon and professor of genetics at the Lyon Est faculty (Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1).

cPr. Bertrand Mollereau is the head of the Apoptosis and Neurogenetics group at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology of the Cell at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon (ENSL). In 1997, Dr. Mollereau received his Ph.D. on Immunology from the University of Paris XI in the laboratory of Anna Senik. He then conducted post-doctoral research with Dr. Claude Desplan in the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics at Rockefeller and New York Universities. In 2001, Dr. Mollereau was appointed Research Assistant Professor in the Strang Laboratory of Apoptosis and Cancer Biology under Dr. Hermann Steller at the Rockefeller University, USA. There, he obtained NIH grant support and headed a junior research group to study photoreceptor development and apoptosis in Drosophila. Dr. Mollereau joined the faculty as professor at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon in autumn 2006. In 2008, his group was awarded the ATIP (CNRS) and Fondation pour la Recherche Medical Equipe programmes. His group is interested in understanding the mechanism of cell death and pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases using Drosophila and mouse models.

Gyorgy Hajnoczky's lab at the Jefferson Medical School inm Philadelphia, USA. Subsequently, she started using model organism in Pr Sylvia Lee's lab at Cornell University, Ithaca, USA, where she was awarded a United Mitochondrial Disease Fellowship to work on mitochondria in aging processes in the nematode C. elegans. An ERG Marie Curie fellowship allowed to pursue her research in Hugo Aguilaniu's lab. She joined Bertrand Mollereau's lab in 2016 to study the role of the mitochondria in cell death and physiopathology. She teaches undergraduate and graduate classes in molecular biology and genetics.

Study of the role of serotonin in the control of ferritinophagy and its therapeutic application to BPAN
11:45am - 12:15pm
The WDR45 gene is localized on the X-chromosome and different variants in this gene are causative for the neurodegenerative disorder BPAN (ß-propeller protein associated neurodegeneration). WDR45/WIPI4 is a WD-repeat β-propeller protein that belongs to the WIPI (WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting) family. The precise cellular function of WDR45 is still largely unknown, but deletions or variants in WDR45 can lead to macroautophagy/autophagy defects, malfunctioning mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum stress and unbalanced iron homeostasis, suggesting that this protein functions in one or more pathways regulating directly or indirectly those processes. Our laboratory is studying the molecular functions of WDR45, particularly in autophagy and mitochondrial homeostasis, using a variety of cellular systems.
