JULY 2020
After 5 years in Grenoble, we are officially moving to Marseille! Many thanks to all my collaborators at the GIN for the good moments and great work!
Excited for the future, and to move to the Neurotech Center of La Timone Medical campus. Welcoming postdocs, techs, and students to study how adult brain circuits rewire during learning or when confronted to environmental changes.
Goodbye snowy mountains, hello turquoise sea !

Joining the Grenoble Institute of Neuroscience in F. Saudou's Team "Intracellular Dynamics and Neurodegeneration" to study how neuronal activity controls axon remodeling in mature circuits. Specifically, we will explore how vesicular trafficking responds to electrical signals to address essential materials to active axonal branches, using high-resolution fast videomicroscopy in brain-on-a-chip devices.
