About me

    Morgane Rosendale, PhD in Neuroscience

Research fellow (CRCN - CNRS) at the Interdisciplinary Institute for NeuroScience (IINS)

Mechanobiology of Motile and Neuronal Structures Team

Since February 2023 I study the regulation and impact of adhesion and cytoskeletal molecules in neuronal function using a combination of super-resolution microscopy and chemical biology at the  Interdisciplinary Institute for Neuroscience (IINS, Bordeaux, France). Between 2019 and 2022, I was an MSCA-funded postdoctoral fellow (European Horizon 2020 'NanoFunc' project #841379) at the Institute for Molecular Sciences (ISM, University of Bordeaux, France) working on a collaborative project involving Dr. Blanchad-Desce, Dr. Cognet (Laboratory for Photonics and Nanoscience, LP2N, IOGS, Bordeaux, France) and Dr. Groc (IINS). There, I developped ultrabright, all-organic nanoparticles for single particle tracking in intact brain preparations. Previoulsly, I was a JSPS postdoctoral fellow at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute and Kyoto University, studying the molecular interactions occuring during structural synaptic plasticity and the formation and consolidation of memory using molecular cloning and FLIM-based imaging under the supervision of Dr. Yasunori Hayashi and Dr. Atsushi Miyawaki. Before that, I was a PhD student at the IINS on a project entitled "Visualisation and Perturbation of the Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Endocytosis" and performed under the supervision of Dr. Perrais in the team of Dr. Choquet. This project focused on the developpment of novel biosensors, photoactivatable molecules and imaging methods for the study of endocytic mechanisms in neurons and other cell types. Prior to that, I obtained an engineering degree in chemistry (2006) from the Ecole Nationale Supérieur de Chimie de Rennes (ENSCR), specialising in chemistry and technology for life sciences.
