PI: Françoise HELMBACHER, PhD

I’ve had a lab at IBDM since 2005, supported by a CNRS Researcher position (CR1/CRCN, now CRHC since 2022). The team has received several competitive grants, including: ANR, FRM Equipe, AFM, the Australian FSHD global organization and the FSH society.

As of january 2024, we will be affiliated to the team of Robert KELLY at IBDM, continuing our research, supported by CNRS and the MARMARA Institute at AMU.

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).
