The generation of neural diversity
New York University
Abstract
Claude Desplan is a Silver Professor of Biology and Neuroscience at NYU. He was born in Algeria and was trained at Ecole Normale Supérieure St. Cloud, France. He received his DSc at INSERM in Paris in 1983 and joined Pat O’Farrell at UCSF as a postdoc. There he demonstrated that the homeodomain, a conserved signature of many developmental genes, is a DNA binding motif. Currently, Dr. Desplan works at NYU where he investigates the generation of neural diversity using the Drosophila visual system.
