Plasticité sensorimotrice multimodale : vision, neurophysiologie et comportement

Matthieu P Vanni · Canada

Back to openings

About this position

Le projet porte sur l’étude de la plasticité sensorimotrice multimodale et de la réorganisation des circuits neuronaux à la suite d’une perte de vision (cécité) ou de lésions cérébrales (notamment de type AVC).

L’objectif est de comprendre comment les réseaux visuels, tactiles et moteurs s’adaptent à ces perturbations, et comment ces mécanismes soutiennent la compensation fonctionnelle, la récupération et l’intégration sensorimotrice.

Les travaux combinent neurophysiologie in vivo et comportement, à l’aide de modèles murins, en utilisant des approches de pointe telles que l’imagerie calcique mésoscopique, la microscopie biphotonique (2P), l’optogénétique et des paradigmes comportementaux quantitatifs.

Le projet intègre également des approches d’analyse quantitative et computationnelle des données neuronales, et peut inclure le développement ou l’intégration de nouvelles technologies expérimentales (dispositifs automatisés, systèmes compatibles avec l’imagerie, pipelines d’analyse).

PhD Position in Decoding Environmental History from Microorganisms for Living Sensors and Memory

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)

  • Delft, Netherlands
  • Biological sciences
  • Dr. Katherine Song

Help pave the future for living sensing systems by decoding microorganisms' encoding of environmental history. Job description Background: Living microorganisms could transform how we sense and store information, replacing single-use electronics with inherently biodegradable systems that track environmental conditions over time. Even basic electronic sensing systems today require sensors, microcontrollers, memory, and batteries, and are often disposable. For example, temperature and humidity dataloggers used during food and vaccine transport become e-waste within weeks. Meanwhile, many species

PhD in Genetic dissection of metastasis in a Drosophila colorectal cancer model

universitat de lleida · CMB

  • Lleida, Spain
  • Biological sciences

The project The project aims to use several colorectal cancer models developed in the lab to advance in the understanding of the cellular processes driving metastasis. About the group Our group, Drosophila models of disease and (epi)genetic analysis , located at the Biomedical Research Institute of Lleida (IRBLleida), is interested in understanding the complex choreography of gene expression driving cell plasticity of tumour cells and their adaptation to new microenvironments. We have generated metastatic and non-metastatic models of colorectal cancer in the adult gut of Drosophila based on th
