Emmanuel Gallaud

During the first years of my career, I was interested in the mechanisms of stem cell proliferation and their impact on tissue homeostasis during development, using the Drosophila neural progenitor as a model. During my PhD at the Institut de Génétique et Développement de Rennes (IGDR) I studied how microtubule dynamics and mitotic spindle assembly contribute to the fidelity of cell division. I then joined the Biozentrum at the University of Basel (Switzerland) and elucidated the molecular mechanism responsible for the establishment of centrosome asymmetry, a feature common to many stem cells. I then returned to the IGDR with the aim of deciphering the molecular coupling between mitotic progression and cell polarity, and how it impacts asymmetric cell division and central nervous system homeostasis. Afterwards, I decided to study another major function of stem cells: the regeneration of damaged tissue. I therefore undertook a third post-doctorate (IGDR) to identify new players involved in the early stages of muscle regeneration in Drosophila.

In 2024, I joined INRAE with the aim of better understanding the molecular and cellular interactions involved in muscle construction, using the rainbow trout as a model.
