Mickaël Catinon

Dr Mickaël Catinon is a researcher at the Minapath Laboratory of mineralogical analysis at the Centre Hospitalier Saint Joseph-Saint Luc in Lyon, France. He specialises in physico-chemical analysis, notably the mineralogical analysis of micro- and nanoparticles deposited in living and inert matrixes. He holds a doctorate in Ecology, Environment and Health from the Université de Grenoble 1, where he subsequently completed postdoctoral research. His doctoral and postdoctoral work studied inorganic atmospheric pollution in the Rhône, Isère and Gier regions of France. Dr Catinon’s current work for the Minapath laboratory focuses on dust build-up in human organs (the lungs, kidneys, ovaries and blood).

Dr Catinon joined the Silicosis team in 2013. His work in collaboration with the Silicosis project will seek to find the causes of sarcoidosis by comparing dust build-up in two populations (20 sarcoidosis patients and 20 others). Each individual will answer a questionnaire developed by the Silicosis team that aims to reveal their past exposure to different types of dust.
