DESYNE : Development and evolution of neurosecretory systems

Our work revolves around 2 main axes:

• Evolution of multigene families of neuropeptides
• Roles of the peptides of the urotensin II and somatostatin families

They use the zebrafish and, to a lesser extent, the xenopus, as models

Our team is also involved in a collaborative project with the unit STRING (UMR7196) entittled : Repair of double-strand breaks in DNA during embryonic development of zebrafish
