Gaël Chételat

Gaël Chételat is Director of Research at Inserm and responsible of a research team named «NEUROPRESAGE: Pathological Mechanisms and lifestyle-based interventions in Brain Disorders» (www.neuropresage.fr).

Her work is devoted to the understanding of the mechanisms underlying ageing and dementia processes and the lifestyle factors that could prevent or delay age-associated disorders. She is mainly involved in clinical studies using multimodal neuroimaging techniques including MRI and PET.

Her research team is also interested in promoting healthy ageing and wellbeing through non-pharmaceutical interventions. In particular, Gaël coordinates an H2020 European grant (PHC22) including two large clinical trials investigating the impact of English learning and meditation training on mental health and well-being in ageing populations.
