Passionate about the role of metal cations in living systems, Christelle Hureau-Sabater has made significant contributions to bioinorganic chemistry related to amyloid pathologies. She has demonstrated the importance of copper and zinc ions in oxidative stress processes and peptide self-assembly associated with Alzheimer’s disease. She is also involved in the development of therapeutic approaches such as copper-chelating agents and modulation of amyloid formation.

Both laureates enthusiastically share their scientific knowledge through various activities, including public lectures, science theater, and hands-on experiments for young audiences. They are actively engaged in national and international responsibilities, particularly in the associations of their respective disciplines, such as FrenchBIC and SBIC.
