EVE MOUTAUX
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.

RACHEL KURIAN
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

RACHEL KURIAN
Master student (2018)
Rachel assisted Julie Anne on the BDNF and stress project. Rachel is now Assistant engineer in the team

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
Assist engineer (2016-2018)
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

EVE MOUTAUX
Master student (2016)
Eve developed new microfluidic devices in collaboration with Benoit Charlot (IES, Montpellier univ) to study how neuronal activity regulates vesicular trafficking during axon branching. Eve pursued this work with a PhD in the team

MARIYA NIKILOVA
Master student (2015)
Mariya studied how axonal transport of secretory vesicles evolves during neuronal network development and maturation

AURELIE GENOUX
Assist 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
