Research topics

In my lab, I am developing a project entitled "Cytoskeleton organization in neurons: dynamics and homeostasis", one of whose aims is to reproduce the various neuronal cytoskeleton networks organized outside cells. This approach aims to understand how the neurocytoskeleton is regulated by different factors.

Keywords associated with my research are: actin and microtubule cytoskeletons, biomimetic approach, ABP (actin-binding proteins), MAP (microtubule-binding proteins), protein cloning and biochemistry, molecular mechanisms, biochemical equilibrium, microscopy (videomicroscopy, TIRF, confocal), neurons.

I welcome interns every year at Licence and Master level: send CV, cover letter and grades by email if the project interests you...
