ABOUT CHRISTOPHE LETERRIER
My research interests are at the interface of neuroscience, cell biology and microscopy. How do neurons differentiate, then build and maintain their complex arborization? How do they establish and conserve their polarity, with the axon and dendrites allowing to send and receive signals? Numerous processes contribute to this organization: elaboration of the cell architecture (thanks to the cytoskeleton), protein transport inside the cell (with diffusion and motor proteins), segregation into distinct compartments (such as axon, synapses, dendritic spines…). I lead the NeuroCyto research team that applies advanced microscopy techniques to directly observe molecular assemblies at the nanoscale in neurons, revealing how they organize the neuron and shape its physiology.
