PhD in Neuroscience, now Postdoc in Bathellier's lab. In vivo electrophysiology and all-optical circuit interrogation. Also, love climbing, cycling and running!
I'll be attending #SfN2023! I'll be presenting preliminary results collected since I started my postdoc in @BathellierL! Is 2P all-optical ephys coming soon? Come check my poster (PSTR275.18/CC14) on Mon 13 afternoon (1-5PM)!!
And make sure not to miss the brilliant Sophie Bagur (@BathellierL) presenting her latest results on coding of temporal information in auditory cortex (PSTR275.03/BB25), on Mon 13 afternoon (1-5PM) too!
We finally achieved a dream I had 10 years ago: sustained (>30 min) deep-tissue (>400 um deep) imaging of fast voltage dynamics (e.g., spikes in bursts) in the brains of awake behaving mice. See our paper in *Cell* here: doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2022.…
Our paper reporting the first natural light-gated potassium-selective channelrhodopsins (KCRs) was published yesterday in Nature Neuroscience. nature.com/articles/s41593-0…. The study was led by senior author John Spudich and first author Elena Govorunova.
Now in Nature Protocols!

Workflow for all-optical interrogation experiments w/setup & calibration of microscope (including how to choose a photostim laser & stim strategy and avoid photodamage), sample prep & characterisation, and putting it all together!
So you want to try an all-optical interrogation experiment, but are daunted by the complexity? Then this preprint is for you! It provides a detailed guide to designing and executing experiments using simultaneous 2-photon optogenetics and 2-photon imaging: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
