An update by Nicolas Grillet:

The Grillet lab has been growing recently with the recruitment of Alix Trouillet as a postdoctoral fellow and Navid Zebarjadi as a research assistant/lab manager.

Alix Trouillet obtained her Ph.D. in Neurosciences in December 2014 at Paris University. Under the mentoring of Serge Picaud at the Vision institute she studied the retinal defect of different mouse model for human diseases such as the Usher syndrome. She developed an interest in understanding the inner ear dysfunction and she is going now to investigate the molecular function of a gene causing progressive hearing loss in human when mutated.

Alix has been selected to participate in the renowned, “Biology of the Inner Ear” course, at the Marine Biology Laboratory in Woods Hole this summer. Congratulations to her!

Navid Zebarjadi obtained is MS in Biological Science also in December 2014 at San Francisco State University. He has gained experience on Cellular and molecular Biology, in Developmental neurosciences and Bioinformatics. While working on his own research project he will provide technical help to the postdoctoral fellows and assume the function of lab manager.
