Dear all,

We are pleased to invite you to the next PACEx seminar on Thursday, 21^st May 2026, where we have one of PACE's new group leaders, Noëmie Mermet-Joret joining us to talk about understanding vulnerability in limbic circuits. Noëmie obtained her PhD in Neuroscience from Université Clermont Auvergne and she has since been working as a postdoc and then as an assistant professor at the lab of Sadegh Navabi, where she  focused on the synergy between innateness and learning and the mechanisms underlying memory. She has a solid technical background in electrophysiology, calcium imaging in-vivo, opto- and chemogenetic and she is now expending her skillset to transcriptomics. She has officially joined the Center on 1 May 2026.

Noëmie’s research will focus on neural circuitries in models of PD as to understand early neuronal change associated to a-syn aggregation and spreading.
