Presentation
After a PhD at the Claude Bernard Lyon1 University, I was interested in pathologies linked to neural crest cells (M. Billaud CNRS lab, Lyon 1993-1995) and then I pursued my research on the early development of the nervous system and its regulation by the Hox genes (M. Capecchi, HHMI, Utah, US, 1995-1999). Recruited at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in 2001, my projects focused on the vertebrate nervous system development, and more particularly on factors that regulate neuronal progenitor migrations. In order to analyze the roles of Reelin and CXCL12 chemokine (and its receptors CXCR4/CXCR7), I developed models to study neuronal migration at the level of the hindbrain and neocortex in mice and zebrafish. My current projects aim at identifying the early events involved in the neurotoxicity through zebrafish models.
Scientific event organization: I co-organize the Zebrafish Club, which gather the Montpellier zebrafish community two or three times per year.
I also fulfill administrative functions at the EPHE: I am a member of the Teaching Board (2012-present) and a member of the Executive Board of the Section of Life Sciences and Earth (2014-present).
