Details of the offer
Working place: The NeuraCel team, led by Jean-Louis Bessereau, is part of the MeLiS research unit.
Missions:
This PhD project aims to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in synapse formation, with a focus on the role of secreted synaptic organizers, particularly AGR-1, the ortholog of the Agrin protein in the nematode C. elegans. AGR-1 appears to play a key role in the regulation of postsynaptic receptors, although its partners and mechanisms of action remain unknown. The project combines genetic approaches in C. elegans with advanced imaging techniques to determine the precise function of AGR-1 at C. elegans synapses.
