A new PhD student in P.Franken’s lab
Géraldine Mang is a French student coming from the University of Strasbourg where she did a Licence of Cellular Biology and Physiology, and a Master Degree in Neurosciences. She did her Master Thesis at Novartis, Basel, in the group of Dr Christine Gee where she worked on the “characterization of the cataplectic and narcoleptic phenotype of mice deficient for orexin receptors”. She joined Dr Franken’s group on 1rst September 2010 where she will study the “contribution of glucocorticoid signaling to the regulation of sleep homeostasis and circadian rhythms”.

Artists-in-Labs 2010
The artist in residence at the CIG is Sandra Huber, a swiss-canadian writer, will join the 3rd floor for a 9 months residency within the frame of Artists-in-Labs. Sandra will elaborate a project on sleep, and started in March 2010.
Sandra is the 2nd artist in residence at the CIG, after Sylvia Hostettler stay in C.Fankhauser’s lab in 2009.

Assembling the Morrow
A compilation of poemic objects bridging the languages of science and artifice in order to explore that chaotic and lucid space between sleep and waking, night and day. The tension arising from language and content set up a platform from which to interrogate the drive towards the towards the ‘new,’ the avant-garde, and what happens when that drive is stranded in a space of not-yet-achieved (like a sleeper never quite waking, a day never quite becoming).
