Dr. Leticia Peris | Neuroscience | Best Researcher Award 

Inserm researcher | Grenoble Institut of Neurosciences | France

Dr. Leticia Peris is a distinguished neuroscientist and cell biologist whose research focuses on uncovering the molecular mechanisms that regulate the neuronal cytoskeleton and its dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases. She serves as an Inserm Research Scientist at the Grenoble Institute of Neurosciences (UGA–INSERM U1216, France), where her work has significantly advanced the understanding of tubulin post-translational modifications and their role in neuronal morphogenesis, synaptic integrity, and neurodegeneration. Dr. Peris made pioneering contributions by identifying the tubulin carboxypeptidases VASH1/2–SVBP complex and elucidating their importance in neuronal organization and neurodevelopmental disorders. Her research further demonstrated how dysregulated tubulin modifications contribute to synaptic degeneration in Alzheimer’s disease and revealed new mechanisms of L-Dopa–induced synaptotoxicity in Parkinson’s disease. With an extensive record of publications in high-impact journals, international collaborations, and innovative patents, her work bridges fundamental neuroscience and translational medicine. She actively collaborates with leading researchers across France, Argentina, Germany, and the United States, including teams at Columbia University, Boston Children’s Hospital, and Humboldt University. A member of several international scientific societies and editorial boards, Dr. Peris is also deeply engaged in ethical and ecological initiatives promoting responsible and sustainable scientific practices. Her ongoing projects aim to rejuvenate neuronal cytoskeleton function as a therapeutic strategy against neurodegeneration, making her a leading voice in cellular neurobiology and a key contributor to the global fight against Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. She has 2741 citations from 36 documents with an h-index of 24.
