Dr Jean-Marie Exbrayat is Professor at both Lyon Catholic University (UCLy, France) and Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (EPHE, France), and Deputy Head of Research of UCLy. He obtained a PhD in 1977 at the University of Montpellier (France) and a D. Sci. in 1986 at Paris 6 University. Being the head of a research unit, his own researches focus on the reproductive biology of bony fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, especially rodents, and some invertebrates, related to environmental conditions (pollution and effects of molecules such as nanoparticles or endocrine disruptors), the embryonic development of rare animals, and animal such as biological or medical models. Among the methods used, the histology has been adapted to the study of materials that have been preserved for a long time. Prof Exbrayat was leading a specialized course in histology. He teaches animal biology, histology, embryology, system biology, history and philosophy of science. He supervised or co-supervised numerous doctoral and master's degrees. He is the author or editor of 18 books and numerous publications and communications in animal biology, histology as well as interdisciplinary work about the history of science and philosophy. He reviews articles to be published in international journals; he is a member of several editorial boards, scientific societies and international institute, and president of the Interdisciplinary Institute of Epistemological Studies (IIEE, France).

Research Interest: Reproduction, male and female genital tracts, endocrine organs, bony fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, invertebrates, external conditions, pollution, embryonic development, histology, immunohistochemistry, history and philosophy of life sciences.
