Dynamics of cell migration and neuronal circuit formation

Research aim

We aim at characterizing the molecular regulation involved in brain development. We are particularly interested in the process of neuronal migration. This process is dysregulated in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia.
