Biography and Research Interest
Ph.D work in JNCASR and ENS-Lyon on the role of chromatin associated proteins and histone modifications in neuronal development and differentiation. Worked in Montreal for a post-doc on zebrafish models of epilepsy and ALS. Now interested in hypothalamus development in zebrafish.
