PhD Position | How muscle nuclei sense pressure to coordinate sarcomere morphogenesis with mitochondrial metabolism   APPLY FOR THE POSITION The Schnorrer group is welcoming applications for an ANR-funded PhD position to decipher molecular mechanisms how muscle nuclei sense mechanical pressure to adapt their transcriptional program. PhD Project Background: Muscle cells assemble their contractile sarcomeres and their […]

Project description A central question in neurobiology is to understand at the genetic, molecular and cellular levels how neuronal circuits generate behaviors. Higher brain functions such as multi-sensory integration and decision-making processes are particularly poorly understood. In addition, how these functions are modified during evolution to promote the appearance of novel behaviors remains largely unknown. […]
