Galland Rémi

Biography

He obtained his PhD in the field of light-matter interaction in 2008 at the CEA-Grenoble where he developed a robust fluorescence reader for continuous pathogen agent detection using immunoanalyses assays. He then directed his researches toward biology developing different optical and microfabrication methods to address specific biological issues. During a first post-doctorate at the LiPhy (2009-10), he developed a multi-confocal microscope for simultaneous FCS measurements in several points within living cells. He then developed approaches for 2D and 3D patterning of proteins in the CytoMorpho Lab as well as a method that use the self-assembly behaviours of the actin filaments to create 3D electrical connexions for technological applications (2010-12). During a third Post-doc at IINS (2013-2015), he developed a new and innovative light-sheet microscope architecture based on the combination of micro fabricated devices displaying 45° mirrors and a single objective. He is now a researcher in the team Quantitative Imaging of the Cells at IINS where he is developing different optical super-resolution approaches in order to improve the penetration depth, the spectral capabilities and the temporal resolution of single-molecule based super-resolution methods. These improved imaging capabilities are used to better understand the molecular mechanisms that drive the information transmission through the synapses.
