Danièle NOEL

the Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Biotherapies (IRMB)

Research Director


Danièle Noël is currently Research Director at Inserm at the Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Biotherapies (IRMB) in Montpellier. She received her PhD in Health Biology from Bordeaux University in 1992. She completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Institute of Molecular Genetics in the field of recombinant retrovirology and gene therapy in Montpellier (1992-1999). She then moved to IRMB to work in cell therapy and became professor in 2011. She is currently leading the group “Tissue engineering and Extracellular vesicles for the treatment of osteoarticular diseases” including 12 staff members. Her expertise focuses on the use of mesenchymal stromal cells and their extracellular vesicles (EV) as innovative biotherapies for osteoarticular and autoimmune diseases. The main objectives of her research projects are to identify the molecular mechanisms involved in the therapeutic effect of the cells and their vesicles, to develop optimised production processes for EV-based biotherapies and to generate in vitro osteoarticular models using 3D bioprinting, with the aim of evaluating therapeutic approaches. She has authored more than 200 publications (H index: 72; citations: 22737). She is currently director of the OBBI integrator and scientific leader of the ECELLFrance Non-clinical models and CARTIGEN facilities. She is coordinator of the PEPR STROMAEV and the FRM-funded SCLER-EV projects and partner of four other ANR-funded projects.
