We are an international, inclusive team fascinated by how neural circuits are built and how their wiring gives rise to behavior.
We also have a weakness for good coffee and Viennoiseries—think French pastries.
Filipe Pinto Teixeira, PhD
Principal Investigator✉️ filipe.pinto-teixeira (at) utoulouse.fr🎹🍜 🇵🇹🌍Developmental biologist. Music lover. Always curious.
Nadia Formicola, PhD
Postdoctoral FRM Fellow✉️ nadia.formicola (at) utoulouse.fr🍕🍫🍪🎥🇮🇹Nadia studies how tight spatio-temporal control of gene expression exerted by RNA-based mechanisms impact on neuronal function and connectivity during development.
Yannick Carrier
Researcher/Lab manager✉️ yannick.carrier (at) utoulouse.fr☕🥐 🇫🇷Yannick is our molecular biology expert and resident CRISPR guru. Yannick is currently investigating gene regulatory mechanisms underlying neuronal fate specification and differentiation (in collaboration with the Özel Lab at Stowers Institute, Kansas City).
Laura Quintana Rio
Researcher✉️ laura.quintana (at) utoulouse.fr🍟🍜📚🇪🇸🌍Laura brings 12 years of experience in Drosophila neurodevelopment to the lab. Laura is interested in the cellular dynamics of circuit assembly.
Marianne Montemurro, PhD
Researcher✉️ marianne.montemurro (at) utoulouse.fr🍎🍪🇫🇷Marianne is studying the relationship between cellular dynamics and Post-transcriptional regulation during circuit assembly.
Giuliana Attianese
Master's student - Naples University✉️ giuliana.attianese (at) utoulouse.fr🇮🇹Giuliana is studying the Post-transcriptional regulation of synaptic proteins production during neural circuit development.
Enzo Lenel
Master's student - Paul Sabatier Toulouse University✉️ enzo.lenel (at) utoulouse.fr🎾🏓🏸🎮🌳🇫🇷
Enzo is studying visual navigation and neural plasticity in Drosophila and ants, using computational models and Virtual Reality set-ups. Co-supervised with Antoine Wystrach.
Ananya Narayanan
Undergrad internship - Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune✉️ ananya.narayanan (at) students.iiserpune.ac.in💃📖🍝🍰🧁🏃♀️🇮🇳
Ananya is studying how different cell surface adhesion molecules are temporaly deployed in synaptic partners, and their contribution for the development of subcellular synaptic specificity.
Lula, the cat
Feline grant writing assistant Emeritus lab memberLula is interested in the escape response to visual looming stimuli in Musca domestica and other household insects. She is passionate about naps, tinned fish and potato chips. She provides support during grant and manuscript writing.Lula works from home.Alumni
