Filipe Pinto Teixeira, PhD
Principal Investigatoremail: filipe.pinto-teixeira(at ) utoulouse.frFilipe is interested in sensory neuroscience, in particular how neural circuits develop, and how they compute sensory information to support behavior. Overarching these research topics is his fundamental interest in understanding how neural circuits are modified through evolution to generate novel behaviors.
Filipe did his graduate studies with Hernán López-Schier at the CRG in Barcelona, and a postdoc with Claude Desplan at NYU in NYC and Abu Dhabi.
Outside the lab he dreams of becoming a decent piano player.
Nadia Formicola, PhD
PostdocNadia's interests lie at the interface between RNA biology and neuroscience.
She aims at understanding how tight spatio-temporal control of gene expression exerted by RNA-based mechanisms impacts on neuronal function and connectivity during development.
Nadia did her undergraduate studies at the IBBR-CNR in Napoli and her PhD in the lab of Florence Besse at the iBV in Nice.
Nadia is funded through an FRM Postdoctoral fellowship
In her spare time, Nadia paints, makes pottery and enjoys cooking.

Master's student - Naples University
Giulianna is studying the Post-transcriptional regulation of synaptic proteins production during neural circuit development.
Enzo Lenel is studying visual navigation and neural plasticity in Drosophila and ants, using computational models and Virtual Reality set-ups.
Lula, the cat
Feline grant writting assistantLula 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.
