I was born and bred in sunny Nice, France. I did my PhD at the Institut de Biologie Valrose, under the supervision of Dr. Stéphane Noselli. I investigated the establishement of the left-right axis in Drosophila. I then crossed the Channel to take up a post-doctoral position in Cambridge. I worked at the Gurdon Institute, in the laboratory of Prof. Andrea Brand, where I studied the nutritional regulation of neural stem cell behaviour in Drosophila. I then went back to France to start my own group in the Institut Pasteur.

I was born in Cracow in Poland. I came to France soon after obtaining my Msc degree in biotechnology and I continued my studies in Paris. I did my PhD at Curie Institute in Dr Meng-Er Huang lab. I was working on development of a novel approach to investigate dynamic compartment specific changes of glutathione redox state in human cells based on redox sensitive Yellow Fluorescent Protein. I then decided to change the field and I have joined Dr Pauline Spéder lab as a post-doc.

After completing my undergraduate studies in Algiers, I joined the “Haematopoiesis and Immunity lab" led by Dr. Marc Haenlin and Dr. Lucas Waltzer at the “Centre de Biologie du Développement” in Toulouse. I investigated the impact of nutrition and the role of the Insulin/Target-Of-Rapamycin signalling pathway, as well as the role of a specialised microenvironment, called the haematopoietic niche, on blood system homeostasis. After my PhD, I once again moved north to join the “Apoptosis and Proliferation Control Laboratory” led by Dr Nic Tapon at the Francis Crick Institute in London. There, I investigated upstream signals regulating the Hippo tumour suppressor pathway. Then, I came back to France and I joined the “Brain plasticity in response to the environment lab” led by Dr. Pauline Spéder at the Institut Pasteur.

I was born in Merida-Venezuela, where I completed my undergraduate studies at the Los Andes University. I did my PhD in the lab of Harrie Kampinga at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, where my research focused on the identification and characterization of the main protein quality control mechanisms that somatic and stem cells use to deal with disease-related misfolded and aggregated proteins. At this point, I became interested in Drosophila as a model organism to study neural development and stem cell biology and joined the lab of Renata Basto at the Institut Curie in Paris to pursue my postdoc. Here my research was focused on the morphogenesis of Drosophila neuroepithelium and the role of Asp –a microcephaly-associated protein- in neural development. Then I joined Matias Simons lab in the Institut Imagine in Paris where using Drosophila as a model I studied the pathomechanisms underlying rare metabolic diseases (CDG) and neurodevelopmental disorders (microcephaly and lissencephaly). Now, I joined the lab of Pauline Spéder, where I am trying to characterize the dynamics and roles of glial cells during neural stem cell niche morphogenesis in Drosophila.

I am a PhD student coming from the delightful Italy. I completed my bachelor studies in Rome and I moved to Milan for two years of Master. During my research internship I joined Thomas Vaccari’s lab at the FIRC Institute of Molecular Oncology where I set up a Drosophila model for a rare neurodegenerative disorder called Kufs disease. Following my Master I wanted to pursue with this project and I won a one-year scholarship to stay in Vaccari’s lab at the University of Milan. At the end of this experience I remained fascinated by the endless potentialities of the little fruit fly and I decided to keep on working with it, joining Pauline Spéder’s lab for my PhD. Here my project consists on using Drosophila as a model for invasive brain tumour, derived from transformed neural stem cells.

I am a PhD student coming from Cambrils, a small beach town in the south of Barcelona. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Science from the University of Barcelona. To close my bachelor’s degree, I did an internship abroad in Neurophysiology (Collège de France, Paris). I got involved in a project focused on the causal link between the formation of theta sequences during awake behavior and replay sequences in sleep under the supervision of Dr. Michaël Zugaro. The following year, I decided to do my masters in Developmental Biology at the University of Pierre and Marie Curie. I did my research internship at the Brain and Spine Institute in Claire Wyart’s lab in collaboration with Valentina Emiliani's lab at Paris Descartes University. I worked on the improvement of optogenetic tools for the recording of neuronal activity in zebrafish. My last internship was in Paul Trainor’s lab at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research (Kansas City, USA) during which I studied multiple genes involved in craniofacial development. Finally I decided to join Pauline Spéder’s lab for my PhD based on the analysis of neural stem cell niche morphogenesis in the Drosophila larval brain.

David joined the lab in November 2019, after a number of very enriching positions. He notably worked in the Flu Center of the Institut Pasteur, before joining the Chrétien lab in which he investigated the behaviour of muscle stem cells during sepsis.
