Overview

Gilles Gheusi is affiliated with the Institut Pasteur in France and specializes in neuroscience with a focus on sensory systems.

Their work primarily explores olfactory and sensory function studies, investigating how sensory modalities operate and interact, often with implications for neurological health and disease.

Gheusi's research interests also include advanced chemical sensor technologies, addressing both biological sensory mechanisms and engineered detection systems.

The scientist has contributed to understanding the long-term effects of COVID-19, examining how viral infections impact sensory functions over extended periods. Computational drug discovery methods form another area of their research, indicating a blend of experimental and computational approaches.

Frequent co-authors include Pierre-Marie Lledo, Guilherme Dias de Melo, Françoise Lazarini, Sylvain Levallois, and Charlotte Hautefort, reflecting collaborative work in their fields of study.

Publications have appeared in various venues such as Science Translational Medicine, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal of Visualized Experiments, and Behavioural Brain Research.
