Biography
Arpiné has received a Diploma degree in chemistry from the Lebanese University of Beirut, Lebanon in 2008. She then shifted her academic focus towards pharmacokinetics in Mediterranean University of Marseille, France in 2009. She began her Ph.D. thesis in neurotoxicology at the University of Saarbrücken, Germany and University of Lorraine of Metz, France under Pr. Alexandra K. Kiemer and Pr. Rachid Soulimani. Her thesis focused on the evaluation of the short and long term neurotoxic effects following lactational exposure to the sum of the six non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls at low levels in offspring mice. Arpiné was awarded her Ph.D. in 2012 and continued her post-doc in University of Lorraine, Metz/Nancy, France in early 2013. Her current research focuses on the mechanisms of action and developmental neurotoxicity testing of chemicals at low environmental exposure.
