Camille Curantz

Camille joined the Frank lab in July 2021 as a post-doc after obtaining her PhD in 2020 at the Sorbonne University (France) by working on the morphogenesis of skin pattern geometry in various birds species such as Ratites, Galliformes, and Penguins. By joining our lab, she is switching from vertebrate to invertebrate development. Her research focuses on understanding how germ cells are induced in the cnidarian Hydractinia symbiologicarpus. 
 
Outside working hours, she enjoys reading, theatre, and visiting flea markets.
