Luc Buée is a Director of Research at CNRS and leads the Lille Neuroscience & Cognition Inserm Research Centre at the University of Lille, France. His laboratory, based at the Lille University Hospital, is a key part of the Lille Centre of Excellence in Neurodegenerative Disorders (LiCEND). With over 30 years of expertise in Alzheimer’s disease and tauopathies, Buée has published highly cited articles in the field. His groundbreaking work includes the concept of "barcode tauopathies," the development of experimental models to study tau aggregation and secretion, and pioneering research on VHH (nanobodies) targeting tau pathology. These contributions are now widely used to evaluate therapeutic strategies. Currently, his research focuses on the pathophysiological consequences of neurofibrillary degeneration, its interplay with amyloid pathology and inflammation, and the non-microtubular functions of tau. Buée is actively engaged in international research consortia and serve
