PI: Françoise HELMBACHER, PhD

I’ve had a lab at IBDM since 2005, supported by a CNRS Researcher position (CR1/CRCN). The team has received several competitive grants, including: ANR, FRM Equipe, AFM, the Australian FSHD global organization and the FSH society.
Prior to my appointment at CNRS/IBDM, I was a Post-doctoral fellow at the Max-Plank Institute of Neurobiology, in Munich (Germany), in the lab of Dr. Rüdiger Klein (2000-2004). Before this, I completed a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology in 1999 at the Pierre and Marie Curie University (UPMC, Paris 6), conducting research work in the Lab of Patrick Charnay at IBENS (1995-1999).

Salomé PATRY, Master Student
10/2022: Welcome to Salomé Patry, who’s currently doing a 3 months internship in the lab. After obtaining my Master 1 diploma in integrative Biology and Physiology at Aix Marseille University, Salomé chose to take a gap year break before her Master 2 to explore options and multiply experiences in research laboratories and with volunteer humanitarian internships abroad.
