Konstantinides Lab
Our goal is to understand how the impressive diversity of neurons that can be found in the animal brain develops during the hours, days, or weeks of embryonic development and how it has evolved over the millions of years of evolution.
We are located at the Institut Jacques Monod in Paris and we are part of a vibrant research community centered around Paris Diderot University (Paris 7).
