Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristophe Leterrier is a CNRS Director of Research and team leader of NeuroCyto at INP CNRS-AMU, with 14+ years of experience probing neuronal architecture at the nanoscale. He combines rigorous training in physics, chemistry and cell biology with advanced microscopy to reveal how cytoskeleton, motor-driven transport and compartmentalization build and maintain axons and dendrites. His team applies cutting-edge imaging to directly observe molecular assemblies that shape neuronal polarity and signalling, bridging fundamental cell biology and neurophysiology. Based in Marseille, he oversees a 12-person lab and has progressed through academic roles from PhD work on cannabinoid receptor trafficking to independent research leadership. Notably, his background in engineering and early industrial R&D gives him a practical, quantitative approach to biological microscopy and experimental design.
