EVE MOUTAUX
Master student (2015) and PhD student (2016-2020)
Eve combined microfluidic devices and high-resolution spinning-disk videomicroscopy to investigate how intracellular dynamics translate neuronal activity into axon remodeling. Eve is now Research Engineer at Curie Institute in Paris.
RACHEL KURIAN
Master student (2017) and Assistant engineer (2018-2020)
Rachel investigated how BDNF, the most abundant neurotrophic factor of the adult brain, shapes neuronal networks after early life stress.
JULIE ANNE RODIER
PhD student (2015-2018)
Julie Anne studied how BDNF post-translational modifications regulate individual susceptibility to stress and depression. Julie Anne is now Postdoc at Princeton university
JULIEN HURTAUD
Master student (2018)
Julien participated to the development of an optoelectrical device to promote axon growth and collateralization after brain damage. Julien is now a PhD student at CEA
CLEMENTINE FULBERT
Master student (2018)
Clémentine participated to the development of an optoelectrical device to promote axon growth using NIR stimulation. Clémentine is now a PhD student at CEA-Clinatec
LAURA CLAUZIER

Laura worked on the development of TrkB positive allosteric modulators in collaboration with the lab of Didier Rognan (Strasbourg univ) and SATT Conectus. Laura is now engineer at CEA
THEO ASPERT
Master student (2016)
Theo created a huge data-set of vesicular kinetics to develop a mathematical model of axonal transport in collaboration with Raphael Voituriez (Paris-Sorbonne univ). Theo is now a PhD student at Strasbourg university
MARIYA NIKILOVA
Master student (2015)
Mariya studied how axonal transport of secretory vesicles evolves during neuronal network development and maturation
AURELIE GENOUX
Assistant engineer (2013-2015)
Aurelie characterized dozens of microfluidic devices in collaboration with Benoit Charlot (IES, Montpellier univ), that set the basis of the current projects. Aurelie is now a tenured INSERM engineer at Grenoble Institute of Neuroscience
