Evolution, Development and Neurobiology Program
Program Leader: Michel Vervoort
Secretariat: Catherine Dupuy & Martine Malet
The research teams of the Evolution, Development and Neurobiology Program of the Institut Jacques Monod study the genetic, cellular and molecular mechanisms that underly animal development, in particular those that control the formation of the nervous system. They also study the evolution of developmental processes.
The ongoing investigations rely on the use of molecular genetics, biochemistry, experimental embryology, cell biology, genomics, proteomics and imaging techniques. This multiplicity of approaches is made possible by the quality of the technological facilities available at the Institut Jacques Monod. Several different animal and cell models are used.
Research teams in the Evolution, Development and Neurobiology Program:
- Evolution and Development of Metazoans (Guillaume Balavoine and Michel Vervoort)
- Regulation of Cell-Fate Specification in the Mouse (Jérôme Colllignon)
- Membrane Traffic in Neuronal and Epithelial Morphogenesis (Thierry Galli)
- Polarity and Morphogenesis (Antoine Guichet)
- Molecular Mechanisms of Development (Jacques Moreau)
- Drosophila Evolution (Virginie Orgogozo)
- Genetics and Development of Cerebral Cortex (Alessandra Pierani)
- Cell Cycle and Development (Lionel Pintard)
