Along the road with François

Abstract

It was at the Pasteur Institute, in François Gros' laboratory, that I had the opportunity to discover the world of research. An opportunity in more ways than one, first because of the nature of the subject, myogenesis, which lent itself particularly well to cellular and genetic approaches to development and differentiation in vertebrates. An opportunity also because the head of the laboratory, François Gros, who was responsible for the choice of this topic, had created an environment in which researchers could develop their projects with great confidence and freedom.
