Overview

Olivier Berton is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania in the United States and has contributed to academic research primarily within the social sciences. Their work spans multiple subfields, including sociology and political science, molecular biology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, oncology, and social psychology.

Their research focuses on a range of topics reflected in their publications. Key areas include:

  • Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors Research
  • Neuropeptides and Animal Physiology
  • Peptidase Inhibition and Analysis
  • LGBTQ Health, Identity, and Policy
  • African Sexualities and LGBTQ+ Issues
  • Educator Training and Historical Pedagogy

Berton's recent papers illustrate this diverse scope. One significant publication, "HDAC6-selective inhibitors decrease nerve-injury and inflammation-associated mechanical hypersensitivity in mice" (2020), appeared in the journal Psychopharmacology. Another paper, titled "L'adoption du FAIR Education Act (2011) en Californie: une étude de cas des nouvelles guerres culturelles autour des questions LGBTQ+ dans l'École publique états-unienne" (2025), was published in Politique américaine. These works reflect an intersection of molecular biological mechanisms and social policy analysis, particularly regarding education and LGBTQ+ issues.

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Berton include Farhana Sakloth, Lefteris Manouras, Kleopatra Avrampou, Vasiliki Mitsi, and Randal A. Serafini. This network supports cross-disciplinary research efforts spanning the biological and social sciences.

The venues in which Berton publishes also mirror this interdisciplinary approach. They have published work in Psychopharmacology, a journal addressing pharmacological sciences, and Politique américaine, focusing on American political studies.
