At the crossroads of muscle physiology, respiratory neurophysiology, and biomedical engineering, the NEUromuscular RESpiratory Pathophysiology & Therapies research group tackles critical challenges in respiratory health. We combine ultrafast ultrasound, molecular imaging, electrophysiology, and translational physiology to uncover how muscles, especially the diaphragm, operate, fail, and recover. Our aim is to convert these insights into quantitative biomarkers that bridge the gap between fundamental physiology and real-world clinical practice.
This work is driving the development of innovative diagnostic tools and interventions, including artificial neurostimulation and next-generation assisted ventilation.
The NEURES group is led by Damien Bachasson and belongs to the joint research unit UMR-S 1158 – Experimental & Clinical Respiratory Neurophysiology based in Paris, France.
To measure, understand, and protect the muscles that drive every breath.
