In 2011, he moved to Bordeaux University medical school, where he is currently Professor of Radiology and Medical Imaging and Director of the Neurofunctional Imaging Group. His current research topic is the identification of factors affecting human brain structural and functional variability using population neuroimaging. Since 2006, he is a member of the European Research Council (SH4 panel). He has published over 220 articles that received over 15,000 citations (ISI-H factor at 61).
