Thierry Galli is PI (Principal Investigator) of the group Membrane trafficking and neuronal and epithelial morphogenesis, at the Institut Jacques Monod

Camilla Arguelles is a PhD student in the group of Anne Plessis

Maïté Coppey is responsible for the group Macromolecular Complexes in Living Cells and the scientific supervisor of the core facility ImagoSeine at the Institut Jacques Monod

These recruitments follow the international call launched in March 2012 to accept junior groups and senior groups at the Institut Jacques Monod.

Virginie Orgogozo and her team explained how a fly species became dependent on a cactus from North American's Sonoran desert. Due to mutations in a single gene, this fly became unable to produce important molecules required for growth and reproduction and is now dependent on particular compounds that are only found in the cactus. Surprisingly, the mutations responsible for this cactus dependence also confer a short-term advantage to flies living on the cactus.

The research team led by Terence Strick of the Institut Jacques Monod, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Bristol (UK) and Rockefeller University (USA), has for the first time been able to watch unfold in real-time the initial stages of a DNA repair mechanism which is still not yet well understood. Using a single-molecule method applied to a bacterial model of transcription-coupled repair, the researchers have understood how multiple actors come together to initiate DNA repair with high fidelity.
These studies are published online on September 9 2012 in the journal Nature.

Every year the Institut Jacques Monod proposes a 6-credit course entitled: « Gene expression from cell to organism ».

organized, at the Institut Jacques Monod, by the SFBD (French Society for developmental Biology), the SFG (French Society for Genetic) and the Institut Jacques Monod.

in recognition of the quality of his research on the evolution of animals.

for his work on FOXL2, a key transcription factor in the development, maintenance and aging of the ovary.

for the centenary of his birth.

Segmentation, the repetition of identical anatomical units, seems to be the secret behind the diversity and longevity of the largest and most common animal groups on Earth. Investigators from the CNRS and Université Paris Diderot (amongst others Guillaume Balavoine et Michel Vervoort at the Institut Jacques Monod) have shown that this characteristic was inherited from a common segmented ancestor thought to have lived 600 million years ago and whose presence “changed the face of the world”.
This discovery was published in Science on 16 July 2010.

organized by the associations of young researchers of the Institut Jacques Monod, Institut Curie, Institut de Biologie de l'ENS, Institut Pasteur, Unité Biologie Fonctionnelle et Adaptative, UMR Epigénétique et Destin Cellulaire, and the French Association of Scientific Physicians and Pharmacists.
