WORKING ENVIRONMENT AND CONTEXT
Located in the heart of Amiens, the University of Picardie Jules Verne (UPJV) has 1 200 researchers, 32 000 students, 36 laboratories (11 in health research) and 8 platforms. The UPJV is a human-scale university.
HOSTING STRUCTURE
The research group on alcohol & pharmacodependences (GRAP) is located in the Universitary Centre on Health Research (Centre Universitaire de Recherche en Santé- CURS) in the Universitary Hospital Centre (CHU) in the south of Amiens. The GRAP is an INSERM research unit (U1247) recognized by the national institute on health & medical research. It is composed mainly by researchers with teaching and hospital duties. The GRAP laboratory is the only one in France working exclusively on alcohol addiction and its comorbidities with translational approaches based on animal models of the disease and clinical trials. The main topic of the laboratory is the study of neurobiological bases of alcohol addiction and of the treatment responses using cutting edge techniques such as in vivo fast scan voltammetry, in vivo calcium imaging, ex vivo electrophysiology, brain imaging and fMRI. The lab has easy access to an animal care facility, a radioactivity platform and animal MRI platform. The GRAP is leading national research network on alcohol research and is integrated in national networks (FHU A2M2P, Institut de Psychiatrie, GDR 3557 Psychiatrie/Addictions). Numerous ongoing projects highlight the research dynamism of the laboratory (ADELY, RAPSICO, ANR PAPAUD, ANR Era-Net Neuron PsiAlc, SMARTBINGE, PREFRONTNALC, ALPHA5ADDICT, HepatAlc).
