I’m a postdoc in the Fankhauser lab where I am looking for genes that fine-tune phototropic responses of Arabidopsis seedlings to directional blue light. Before moving to Lausanne I lived in Edinburgh where I did my PhD with Andrew Millar on post-translational modifications in the plant circadian clock, and a postdoc with Karen Halliday on plant metabolism in phytochrome mutants.
Le manque de sommeil a des conséquences à long terme. Il favorise le développement de maladies non transmissibles comme les troubles du métabolisme. Plus inquiétant encore: même si le manque de sommeil est rattrapé, les problèmes demeurent!
Cʹest ce que viennent de démontrer des chercheurs de lʹUniversité de Lausanne (Unil) et de lʹEcole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).
Les détails avec Maxime Jan, bio-informaticien à lʹUnil, interrogé par Bastien Confino.

Hi everybody!
I am Giti Ghazi Soltani and I just joined the Soyk lab as PhD student.
I started my University studies in Agricultural Sciences with a focus on Plant Pathology at the University of Tabriz, Iran.
I completed a Master’s degree in the University of Pierre and Marie Curie (UPMC) in Paris on taxonomy of a pollinator bee species. Then, I joined the group of Niko Geldner at UNIL in 2017, where I studied the role of a gene family in plant volatile perception in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
In the Soyk lab, I am interested in identifying genes and genetic interactions that regulate meristem development and plant architecture in the model crop tomato.
To welcome the research groups of Jean-Yves Roignant and Sebastian Soyk recently arrived at the CIG, an aperitif is organized this Thursday, Dec. 5, 2019 from 4 p.m in the building’s main hall.
All welcome!

My name is Anastasiia, but everyone calls me Nana. I am from Ukraine, and I am excited to be starting my PhD at the Gambetta lab here at the CIG!
Outside my scientific interests, I am passionate about creative writing, Scandinavian culture and exploring the great outdoors. 
Hi everybody,
I am Romane Meurs. I did my master internship in David Gatfield’s lab at the end of the spring semester and now I am glad to be back to CIG as a PhD student !
I’m from Belgium, where I did my bachelor and masters’ degrees. I graduated recently in biochemistry and molecular and cellular biology from the Université Libre de Bruxelles.
During my PhD, I will first
continue my internship project which is about translational regulatory function of the non-conventional translation factor eIF2D and its link with the circadian rhythm.
