BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
From zebrafish to human disease : deciphering the molecular steps of pancreas formation, regeneration and carcinogenesis.

Our laboratory is dedicated to identify molecular mechanisms controlling the generation of pancreatic cells in normal and disease state, using the zebrafish as animal model. To achieve this goal, we use a combination of transcriptomics (RNA sequencing or "RNAseq"), mutagenesis, and transgenesis and we create zebrafish models mimicking pancreatic diseases.
