Profile

Arsene obtained a B.Sc. in Cel­lu­lar Biol­o­gy & Phys­i­ol­o­gy at the Uni­ver­si­ty Cler­mont Auvergne (UCA), France, and an M.Sc. in Biol­o­gy and Health Sci­ences at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Nantes, also in France. Dur­ing his Mas­ter’s The­sis, he worked on the influ­ence of con­di­tioned stim­uli (visu­al) on food rein­force­ment and even­tu­al­ly food choice, across dif­fer­ent macronu­tri­ent groups. More specif­i­cal­ly, fol­low­ing his inter­est in a few stud­ies pub­lished in Cana­da and Ger­many, he joined the Mod­ern Diet and Phys­i­ol­o­gy Research Cen­ter in New Haven, US, in order to try and repli­cate pre­vi­ous find­ings and inves­ti­gate how macronu­tri­ent con­tent and com­bi­na­tion (car­bo­hy­drate, fat) influ­ence food choice, rein­force­ment, and its under­ly­ing neur­al cir­cuits, par­tic­u­lar­ly in the U.S. pop­u­la­tion. Lat­er on, he com­plet­ed a Mas­ter equiv­a­lent degree in clin­i­cal research and interned as a clin­i­cal research asso­ciate trainee work­ing on var­i­ous inter­na­tion­al clin­i­cal trials.

In 2021 he joined the O’BRAIN lab.
