Christophe Leterrier

CNRS - Aix Marseille Université

After studying engineering at the École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles, Christophe Leterrier turned to biology and completed a Neuroscience PhD on cannabinoid receptor trafficking in neurons (2006). He then did a postdoc and obtained a research position in 2011, studying the organization of the initial segment of the axon in Marseille. In 2017, he started the NeuroCyto lab thanks at the Institute of Neurophysiopathology in Marseille. Following the discovery of new axonal actin structures: rings, hotspots and trails, the lab focuses its efforts on understanding their molecular organization and functions using a range of microscopy techniques, including super-resolution and correlative approaches.
