Overview

Etienne C. Hirsch is affiliated with Sorbonne University in France. Their research primarily focuses on areas within medicine, neuroscience, and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their work is specifically centered around neurology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, and molecular biology, with additional interests in physiology and polymers and plastics.

The main topics covered by Hirsch's research include Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments, nuclear receptors and signaling, nerve injury and regeneration, RNA regulation and disease, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, conducting polymers and applications, and redox biology and oxidative stress.

Hirsch has contributed to several journal publications, especially in the fields of neurology and neuroscience. The frequent publication venues for their work include:

  • Journal of Neural Transmission
  • Movement Disorders
  • Scientific Reports
  • Revue Neurologique
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

They have authored multiple papers, notable among them:

  • "Ten Unsolved Questions About Neuroinflammation in Parkinson's Disease" (2020), published in Movement Disorders
  • "Genes critical for development and differentiation of dopaminergic neurons are downregulated in Parkinson's disease" (2023), published in Journal of Neural Transmission
  • "Glutaredoxin 1 Downregulation in the Substantia Nigra Leads to Dopaminergic Degeneration in Mice" (2020), published in Movement Disorders

Frequent collaborators of Hirsch include Aditi Verma, Vijayalakshmi Ravindranath, Reddy Peera Kommaddi, Barathan Gnanabharathi, and Patrick P. Michel.
