As a PhD student in neurobiology, I aim to understand the evolution of the human cerebellum by studying the expression of human-specific genes and their localization within the cerebellum. My research brings together two rapidly expanding fields in biology: spatial transcriptomics (which makes it possible to measure and map messenger RNA within biological tissue) and the heterogeneity of gene expression (using algorithms to determine whether these genes are expressed in regular or irregular patterns). I am co-supervised by Baptiste Libé-Philippot and Léo Guignard on this interdisciplinary project.
