....	INAF is a leading European Institute in Neuroscience, with 20 research groups working on various approaches of brain function. The 12 groups of the Neurobiology & Development (N&D) research unit focus on the analysis of brain development and evolution, neurogenesis, integrative neurobiology and behavior, using various model organisms. N&D is seeking to recruit a research group led by an outstanding (junior/senior) investigator in the field of Neurogenetics with invertebrate animals as model systems.
INAF Lecture in Neurosciences Friday February 15th 2013 - 11am : Pr. Dr. Magdalena Götz Institute of Stem Cell Research of the Helmholtz Research Center and Chair of Physiological Genomics of the Ludwig-Maximilian University Munich, Germany « Glial cells as Neural Stem Cells: New Views on Reactive Gliosis »
INAF Lecture in Neurosciences	7.02.2012 Le projet TEFOR (Transgenèse pour les Etudes Fonctionnelles sur les ORganismes modèles), coordinateur J-S Joly, lauréat de l'appel d'offres "Infrastructures en Biologie-Santé" du programme Investissements d'avenir. TEFOR propose de développer une plateforme innovante pour deux modèles animaux alternatifs, le poisson-zèbre et la drosophile, pour étudier le transfert de gènes, la génération de mutations et le phénotypage qui sont des enjeux importants pour le domaine de la santé.
