Research axes
Our research lab brings together nearly 80 researchers across eight teams, organised around four complementary research areas. Each team develops its own research topics, whilst contributing to the lab’s shared scientific vision.
Organelle biology and Subcellular signaling
This axis explores the inner life of neurons, studying how organelles and molecular transport systems maintain cell function.
Optic and instrumentation
This axis develops advanced imaging technologies to visualize biological structures with unprecedented resolution and precision.
Synaptic physiology and system neuroscience
This axis studies how neural activity shapes movement, spatial perception, and emotional behavior.
Neurological and Psychiatric disorders
This axis investigates the cellular and molecular bases of neurological and psychiatric conditions, from rare genetic diseases to Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia.
