Education:
B.S in Cell Biology, Aix-Marseille University, France
M.S in Development and Immunology, Aix-Marseille University, France
Ph.D in Developmental Biology, Aix-Marseille University, France
Research interest:
Christopher’s
projects in the area of single cell RNA-sequencing aim to investigate the roles
of Tbx1, the major candidate gene for 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, during early
embryonic development. Specifically, his projects focus on the understanding of
cell autonomous roles of Tbx1 in the endoderm and ectoderm of embryos and of
non-autonomous functions of Tbx1 on adjacent neural crest cells.
