    Description de la recherche<\/h2>\n

    Nos travaux portent sur l’identification des m\u00e9canismes cellulaires et mol\u00e9culaires qui contr\u00f4lent la production de la diversit\u00e9 neuronale au cours du d\u00e9veloppement du syst\u00e8me nerveux. Plus particuli\u00e8rement, nous essayons de comprendre comment les cellules souches r\u00e9tiniennes prolif\u00e8rent et se diff\u00e9rencient pour produire les diff\u00e9rents types cellulaires qui forment la r\u00e9tine. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons des approches g\u00e9n\u00e9tiques chez la souris ainsi que de l’imagerie cellulaire en temps r\u00e9el. Nous esp\u00e9rons que ces travaux m\u00e8neront un jour au d\u00e9veloppement de th\u00e9rapies cellulaires bas\u00e9es sur les cellules souches neurales pour la reconstruction de diff\u00e9rentes r\u00e9gions du syst\u00e8me nerveux central.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Research description<\/h2>\n

      We are interested in uncovering the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the generation of cell diversity during nervous system development. More specifically, we study how retinal stem cells proliferate and differentiate into the different cell types that compose the mature retina. To help resolve these questions, we use mouse genetics and live imaging technologies to visualize retinal stem cell development in real time. We hope that this work will lead to the development of novel stem cell based cell replacement therapies to reconstruct various regions of the central nervous system.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
