Marcel Chatel is the Head of the Neurology Department of the Nice
(France) University Hospital (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire
[CHU]). Much of his activity has focused on the development of
neuro-oncology. A student of Prof. Jean Pecker and Prof. Olivier
Sabouraud at the CHU in Rennes, France, his interest in
neuro-oncology began with projects conducted in cooperation with
Prof. Jean-Marie Scarabin and Dr. Françoise Darcel. His
collaboration with Prof. Jean-Marie Brucher, established in
connection with the diagnostic difficulties related to the first
stereotactic biopsies, dates back to the 1970s. A Research Fellow in
neuropathology at the Harvard Medical School, then at the Stanford
Medical Center in the Laboratory of Prof. Lucien Rubinstein, his
research activity in the neuro-oncobiology of neuro-epithelial
tumors later concentrated on positron imaging, together with Prof.
J.M. Derlon (Dept. of JF Jolliot, Orsay, France), and the metabolism
of polyamines, in collaboration with the Laboratory of Prof.
Moulinoux in Rennes. Prof. Chatel is a member of the EORTC Brain
Tumor Group and a founding member of the Association of
French-speaking Neuro-oncologists (Association des Neuro-oncologues
d'Expression Française [ANOCEF]), created in 1992. In addition to
his current position as head of the Neurology Department at the CHU
in Nice, he is the coordinator of the Neuro-oncology Group.
