Fabienne Poulain, Ph.D. | Associate Professor | Dept. of Biological Sciences | College of Arts and Sciences

Research in the Poulain lab aims to understand how neuronal circuits are formed, maintained and refined during development. They use a unique combination of genetic, biochemical and high resolution live imaging approaches in zebrafish to decipher the cellular and molecular mechanisms of brain wiring directly in vivo. Their discoveries may give  new insight on the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders that originate from miswiring of neuronal circuits during development.
