Adrianna Nozownik

Google Scholar – PubMed – LinkedIn

Adrianna is a PhD student holding a fellowship from the PhD program in neurosience at Sorbonne Université (ED3C) fellowship. She holds a MSc degree in molecular biology from Hamburg University. In her MSc thesis, she has been working on the characterization of inhibitory optogenetic GPCRs. Now she is working on studying the modulation of synaptic transmission in inhibitory circuit, in particular she analyzes the effect of endocannabinoids on the modulation of layer 1 interneurons in the neocortex. Adrianna is co-supervised by J. Lourenço and A. Bacci.

Cibele is a PhD student in the team. She holds a fellowship from the DIM C-Brains PhD program. She received a Bsc degree in Biology and a Msc degree in Neuroscience from the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina in Brazil. Her research focuses on understanding the functional specialization of inhibitory interneurons during development. She performs two-photon imaging of neuronal activity across different molecularly-defined populations interneurons in the mouse visual cortex during development. She also analyzes the influence of Autism-related genes in controlling the specificity of interneuronal function. Cibele is co-supervised by N. Rebola.

Sally is a PhD student in the lab. She completed an integrated Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Neuroscience at University College London (UCL), and worked as a research assistant at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre before joining the lab. Her PhD project is part of the large cross-disciplinary SPARK program at ICM where she investigates how motor and behavioural states modulate neural computations in the mouse visual cortex. She uses in-vivo electrophysiological recordings with Neuropixels probes and optogenetic tools to identify how interneuronal circuits shape state-dependent processing in the neocortex. Sally is co-supervised by N. Rebola.

Laura Sofia Gonzalez

Google Scholar – PubMed – LinkedIn Sofia is a PhD student holding a fellowship from the PhD program in neurosience at Sorbonne Université (ED3C) fellowship. She earned a bachelor’s degree in life science engineering from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and a master’s in neuroscience from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland. Her research focuses on characterizing layer 1 interneurons (L1 IN) activity and their role in neocortical function. Using in vivo two-photon imaging in awake mice during visual stimulation, she examines neuronal activity while disrupting L1 INs through photoinactivation or NMDAR deletion. Sofia is co-supervised by N. Rebola.

Yann is a Junior Professor in Computational Neuroscience at Sorbonne Université. He did a PhD in the laboratory of A. Destexhe at CNRS (Gif sur Yvette, France) and postdoctoral trainings in the Neural Coding laboratory at the Italian Institute of Technology (Genova, Italy), Neuroinformatics group at CNRS (Saclay, France) and Rebola/Bacci laboratories at the Paris Brain Institute (France). His research focuses on the mechanisms and fundamental principles of information processing in neuronal networks and their dysregulations in disease.
