Research Team
Christophe Leterrier is a Group Leader at the NeuroCyto Lab, part of the Neuropathophysiology Institute (INP, CNRS-Aix Marseille University UMR 7051) in Marseille, France. He leads the NeuroCyto team since 2017.
Christophe was trained as an engineer in physics and chemistry, and later received his PhD in Neuroscience from the University Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris. He moved to Marseille for a post-doc in 2006 and became a tenured CNRS researcher in 2011.
The NeuroCyto Lab focuses on understanding how neurons are organized at the cellular level, including how they differentiate, build and maintain their complex arborization, and establish and conserve their polarity. The lab applies advanced microscopy techniques to directly observe molecular assemblies at the nanoscale in neurons, revealing how they organize the neuron and shape its physiology.
Leterrier's research interests lie at the intersection of neuroscience, cell biology, and microscopy. He is particularly interested in how the cytoskeleton of neurons supports their unique functions.
