In 2014, she obtained the position of Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Hospital Practitioner of Neurology in Bordeaux, as well as a “young researcher” grant from the select European Research Council (ERC) for her SEGWAY project. This project aims at studying the specific genetic markers in the structuring of the brain in young adults, using magnetic resonance imaging as part of the i-Share study.

In addition to this, Stéphanie Debette is simultaneously leading other projects the world over.

Although she devotes the majority of her time to research, she still values the importance of the clinical aspect of her career.
