Thesis Subject

Study of microtubule nucleation during early neuronal development

Your Work Environment

We study how cells control microtubule nucleation and organisation in order to generate specialised microtubule arrays, such as the mitotic spindle or the polarised microtubule networks within neurons. We focus on gamma-tubulin ring complexes (g-TuRCs), which template and stimulate new microtubule formation at microtubule organising centres (MTOCs), such as the centrosome or Golgi. The lab primarily uses Drosophila as an animal model system and we span scales, relating the molecular structure and composition of g-TuRCs to their recruitment and activation within cells. The IJM is situated in the heart of Paris and offers state-of-the-art facilities and a dynamic research environment. You will be under the direct supervision of Dr. Paul Conduit, who is a group leader at the IJM.
