Offer Description

The team "Spatiotemporal Logic of Adult Neurogenesis" is located within UMR 5242, at the Institute of Functional Genomics of Lyon (IGFL). It is a multidisciplinary institute, offering exposure to several system models around themes like development, regeneration, evolution, and physiology. The institute boasts high-quality imaging and single-cell and spatial transcriptomics platforms. Our team is funded by the Foundation for Medical Research (FRM), ATIP-AVENIR, and ERC Starting Grants.

Gestation and motherhood in mammals create a window of significant brain plasticity. We will investigate how these physiological states impact the spatiotemporal dynamics of adult neurogenesis in mice, using single-cell and spatial transcriptomic data. The project involves optimizing existing bioinformatics tools and developing new tools to address our biological questions.
