Jean-­‐Pierre  BOURGUIGNON  

  RESEARCH INTERESTS J-P. Bourguignon is a translational researcher with the neuroendocrine control of puberty as primary focus. His work has contributed to deciphering some physiological neuroendocrine mechanisms of sexual maturation. He has extended his studies to the role of endocrine disrupting chemicals. His research projects aim at the effects of fetal and neonatal exposure to endocrine disrupters on homeostasis of reproduction and energy balance. He is author or co-author of 135 publications in internationalpeer-reviewed journals. CLINICAL EXPERTISE AND OTHER ACTIVITIES His clinical practice bears on pediatric endocrinology with special emphasis on disorders of puberty and adolescence. J-P. Bourguignon is co-chair of an Endocrine Society task force advocating for incorporation of the data from endocrine science into regulatory management of chemicals.

Pieter  HOEKSTRA          

     

Dr. Hoekstra’s activities have been directed at neurodevelopmental disorders in children with Tourette syndrome, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, intellectual disability and/or autism spectrum disorders. One line of activities concern treatment and clinical studies in this area, regarding psychosocial treatments for children with behavioural problems, and investigating medication discontinuation and other trials regarding psychotropic medication. A second line are more fundamental studies, related to the overall topic of gene*environment interactions, genetics and immunology, mostly in the field of Tourette syndrome but also childhood aggression as part of several ongoing large scale funded projects (NIMH funded TIC genetics; EU FP7 funded EMTICS; FP7 Marie Curie ITN TS EUROTRAIN; MATRICS related to aggression in children; FP7 AGGRESSOTYPE). In the field of ADHD his main line of interest lies in the field of imaging genetics (NeuroIMAGE project).  Selected  publications:    1:  van  Rooij  D,  Hartman  CA,  van  Donkelaar  MM,  Bralten  J,  von  Rhein  D,  Hakobjan  M,  Franke  B,  Heslenfeld  DJ,  Oosterlaan  J,  Rommelse  N,  Buitelaar  JK,  Hoekstra  PJ.  Variation  in  serotonin  neurotransmission  genes  affects  neural  activation  during  response  inhibition  in  adolescents  and  young  adults  with  ADHD  and  healthy  controls.  World  J  Biol  Psychiatry.  2015  Oct  1:1-­‐10.      2:  Schweren  LJ,  Hartman  CA,  Heslenfeld  DJ,  van  der  Meer  D,  Franke  B,  Oosterlaan  J,  Buitelaar  JK,  Faraone  SV,  Hoekstra  PJ.  Thinner  Medial  Temporal  Cortex  in  Adolescents  With  Attention-­‐Deficit/Hyperactivity  Disorder  and  the  Effects  of  Stimulants.  J  Am  Acad  Child  Adolesc  Psychiatry.  2015  Aug;54(8):660-­‐7.      3:  van  Rooij  D,  Hartman  CA,  Mennes  M,  Oosterlaan  J,  Franke  B,  Rommelse  N,  Heslenfeld  D,  Faraone  SV,  Buitelaar  JK,  Hoekstra  PJ.  Altered  neural  connectivity    during  response  inhibition  in  adolescents  with  attention-­‐deficit/hyperactivity  disorder  and  their  unaffected  siblings.  Neuroimage  Clin.  2015  Jan  13;7:325-­‐35.      4:  Schweren  LJ,  Hartman  CA,  Zwiers  MP,  Heslenfeld  DJ,  van  der  Meer  D,  Franke  B,  Oosterlaan  J,  Buitelaar  JK,  Hoekstra  PJ.  Combined  stimulant  and  antipsychotic  treatment  in  adolescents  with  attention-­‐deficit/hyperactivity  disorder:  a  cross-­‐sectional  observational  structural  MRI  study.  Eur  Child  Adolesc  Psychiatry.  2015  Aug;24(8):959-­‐68.      5:  van  der  Meer  D,  Hartman  CA,  Richards  J,  Bralten  JB,  Franke  B,  Oosterlaan  J,  Heslenfeld  DJ,  Faraone  SV,  Buitelaar  JK,  Hoekstra  PJ.  The  serotonin  transporter  gene  polymorphism  5-­‐HTTLPR  moderates  the  effects  of  stress  on  attention-­‐deficit/hyperactivity  disorder.  J  Child  Psychol  Psychiatry.  2014  Dec;55(12):1363-­‐71.
