Christian DANI 医师

Christian Dani , Ph.D, is an expert in human adipose-derived stem cells. Born in 1956 in Saint-Raphaël, France, he did a Ph.D in molecular biology in Montpellier University. Then, he conducted a 2-year program research on the biology of embryonic stem cells in Pr. A. Smith’s laboratory (Edindurgh, Scotland). He is now director of research at the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) and the director the “Stem Cells and Differentiation” laboratory at the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis.

He developed several in vitro models for studying adipogenesis, such as the hMADS cell model, stem cells derived from human iPSCs and more recently the ExAdEx model that reflect all the complexity of the native human adipose tissue. He is co founder and scientific advisor of the ExAdEx-Innov start up.
