Popularly addressed as Prof. JP, is a French Neurologist and a US Resident, comes with more than 35 years of experience in Research with around 100 publications, with an average impact factor of 4.5, 4800 citations and an H-index of 42. He is still collaborating with the Gene Therapy Program at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA. His MD dissertation was focused on Multiple Sclerosis, and he also have a PhD in Physiology on the regeneration of the skeletal muscle.
Prof. Louboutin is currently on an extension as the Head of the Department of Basic Medical Sciences, as well as Professor and Head of the Division of Anatomy, at UWI, Mona Campus. The Department of Basic Medical Sciences comprises 120 Staff Members, including 50 Academic Staff Members. He has more than 10 years of experience of Teaching in Anatomy, Histology, and Embryology at Mona for different Health Professionals (MBBS, DDS, Physical Therapy, Basic Medical Sciences, and PharmD Programmes).
He was mainly involved with the teaching of Basic and Clinical Neurosciences/Neurology in France while he was also familiar with teaching at the graduate level, as well as the postdoctoral level by supervising students in Laboratories. As Assistant-Professor of Neurology in France, he was also overseeing Residents in different Hospitals.
He is very familiar with teaching Gross Anatomy, Histology and Embryology. Beside a personal collection of histological slides, he also have more than 700 digital photographs of these slides.
Prof. Louboutin enjoys Neurosciences and currently teaching NeuroAnatomy to MBBS, Physical Therapy and BMedSci students. At this time, he is also the Co-ordinator of twelve Courses, among them: Musculoskeletal System and Neuroscience System courses for MBBS and Introduction to Histology and Embryology for PharmD and Basic Medical Sciences students. Prof. JP pioneered in emphasizing and developing initiatives that would increase the interaction with the students in many courses: flipped classrooms during Labs/Tutorials, Case-Based Learning, and Problem-Oriented Learning.
Part of his Research being focused on gene/cell therapy in the brain, and because of his Clinical background as a Neurologist, he is naturally familiar with Neuroscience. A good amount of his research being dedicated to the Physiopathological and Pathological events occurring during gene/cell therapy makes him also familiar with Pathology at the basic level in general as well as in different organs. What is fascinating with gene therapy is that you need to know not only the pathology of a particular disease in order to improve it, but also the modifications that might occur due to the treatment (i.e., immune response).
Prof. JP enjoyed working with one of his mentors, Prof. David Strayer at the Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, who was the co-author and edited several versions of the “Rubin’s Pathology” textbook. He spent more than 8 years working in his Laboratory.
On the administrative side, besides being the Head of the largest Department on the Mona Campus at the University of West Indies, he was recently involved in the Quality Assurance Review of the Department.
