Jean-Pierre Pouget, PhD

Research Director, Team Leader at the French National Institute for Health and Medical research (INSERM)

Dr. Jean-Pierre Pouget obtained his PhD in Radiobiology from the Curie Institute in Paris and performed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Nuclear Medicine Research Laboratory at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry. He then joined the French Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (IRSN) and subsequently the French National Institute for Health and Medical research (INSERM) where he now is team leader of the Radiobiology and Targeted Radiotherapy group at the Cancer Research Institute of Montpellier. Dr. Pouget’s research focuses on the development of new radiopharmaceuticals for cancer imaging and therapy, unravelling the role of targeted (radiative) and non-targeted (bystander and systemic) effects of molecular radiotherapy involving intercellular communications and/or the involvement of the immune system. He has published more than 90 papers and book chapters on topics in radiobiology and radionuclide therapy and several patents.
