Nagisa Saito joins the lab for her M1 project. Nagisa studied Life Sciences at Sorbonne Université before joining the Master of Neurosciences at Université Paris Cité. Nagisa will work with Marie-Charlotte and Marianne to test the influence of environmental conditions on temporal transcription factors in the visual system of drosophila.
Christina Varthali joins the lab for her M1 project. Christina studied Biology at the University of Athens, before joining the Masters program ‘From fundamental molecular biosciences to biotherapies’ of the Sorbonne Université. Christina will work with Rebekah to perform the lab's first CUT&RUN experiments.
Today we cut our annual “galette des rois” and Konstantina won the crown again!
Marie-Charlotte Devagourou joins the lab for her M2 project. Marie-Charlotte studied Life Sciences at the Université Paris Saclay, where she also stayed for her Masters in Cell Biology and Development. Marie-Charlotte will work with Marianne to investigate the regulation of the end of the temporal series.
Isabel's last paper from the lab of Claude Desplan focuses on the role of temporal identity and Notch status of Drosophila optic lobe neurons in neuropil targeting, connectivity, and visual function, linking developmental patterning to adult brain architecture and function.
Today was Leonardo's last day in the lab. He stayed for almost a year, first as an M2 student and then as an Ingenieur d'Etudes and worked on the three-dimensional reconstruction of single-cell mRNA sequencing of the developing optic lobe using Novosparc.
Carlos, during his PhD with Isabel Almudi and Fernando Casares, investigated gill regeneration in the mayfly Cloeon dipterum, uncovering accelerated growth driven by uniform cell proliferation and conserved molecular pathways to Drosophila regeneration models. link
Claire Julliot de la Morandiere joins the lab as an ingénieure d'études. Claire studied Biology at the Université Paris Saclay before obtaining her Masters from the Sorbonne Université. Claire will study temporal transcription factor expression in different insects.
Carlos Martín joins the lab as a postdoctoral researcher. Carlos did his PhD in the labs of Fernando Casares at the Andalusian Center of Developmental Biology and Isabel Almudí at the University of Barcelona. He studied the mechanisms of gill regeneration in the mayfly Cloeon dipterum.
Today we wished farewell to Niovi and Myrto, who concluded their Erasmus internships in the lab.
