Welcome Deeksha Krishnamoorthy !

Posted on 11/18/2024 by Lise Rolée

I am Deeksha Krishnamoorthy, joining as a PhD student at the lab of Dr. Johannes Larsch. I come from the beautiful country of India, where I completed my Bachelor degree in Biotechnology. For my Bachelor thesis, I worked at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, on signalling pathways in Drosophila nephrocytes.

I then moved to Germany for a Masters in Neuroscience where I had the opportunity to explore cognitive, computational, cellular and molecular neuroscience. My Master thesis focused on exploring the neurovascular interface in the embryonic mouse cerebellum. I am excited to work at the CIG and explore the zebrafish model system, neurogenetics and social behaviour. I enjoy badminton, music and trying new cuisines. Looking forward to meeting everyone at CIG!

Bienvenue Aymeric Masson !!!

Hello everyone,

I’m Aymeric Masson, new postdoc in the group of Prof. Alexandre Reymond. I come from Clermont-Ferrand (France), where I did my bachelor’s degree in Life sciences followed by a master’s in Biology and Health with a final internship at iGReD (Institute of Genetics, Reproduction and Development) under the guidance of Dr C. Barrière. During these years, I developed a growing interest in genetics, epigenetics and the bioinformatic aspects that enable the study of these fields.

I moved to Dijon (France) for my PhD which I did in the Génétique des Anomalies du Développement laboratory (GAD) under the supervision of Dr A. Vitobello. During my PhD, I investigated the pathology of variants of uncertain significance mainly by generating transcriptomic data, setting up a chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) protocol and building a basic skill set for analyzing both types of data. I am delighted to join the CIG to further explore how the genome functions, expresses itself, and the impact of its variations on health.

Aside from sciences and to share a bit about myself, I enjoy playing ice hockey for fun, listening to techno-inspired music (Vitalic, Worakls, Paul K, NTO, Contrefaçon…) and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to meeting and collaborating with all of you, see you around!
