BIOSKETCH

I started the "Homeostasis of Excitability and Neuromodulation" group in 2007. Previously I was a post-doctoral fellow in Eve Marder's lab at Brandeis University (Waltham, MA, USA) where I studied the impact of co-variations in ion channel properties on the functional output of the crustacean stomatogastric network. My PhD work was performed under the supervision of Pierre Vincent (Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris). We combined for the first time cAMP fluorescence imaging with patch-clamp recordings to investigate the modulation of voltage-gated ion channels by cAMP. Before obtaining my PhD in Paris, I studied in Montpellier (south of France, mediterranean coast) and in Pau (south of France, close to the Pyrénées).
