born in 1956, studied zoology at the University of Bristol, UK, before gaining his doctorate in developmental neuropsychology in London (1978–81). He subsequently spent a postdoc sojourn at the Faculty of Biochemistry at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, where he first researched the retina. Another postdoc sojourn followed in 1984 at the Rockefeller University in New York, USA, where he worked in C. Barnstable’s team and under Nobel Prize winner Torsten Weisel (1981 Nobel Prize for Medicine). In 1988 he moved to the laboratory of Y. Courtois at INSERM in Paris. He was promoted to full professor in 1992, relocated to the municipal hospital in Strasbourg at the same time and co-founded a retinal research laboratory there. In 2005 he transferred to the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Strasbourg. His research work centres on the relationship between circadian rhythm and the physiology/pathology of the retina.
As everybody knows, our eyes are the sensory organs that allow us to see the world around us. Light enters the eye through the pupil and strikes the photosensitive retina at the back to (…)
Naturally occurring chemical reactions may have evolved into the biochemical processes we know today. A team of researchers has now discovered that a reaction sequence from the so-called reverse Krebs cycle—a fundamental biochemical process—can also take place without enzymes. The team writ ... more
Some useful drugs consist of peptides acting on their protein targets. To make them more efficient and stable, scientists have found a way to replace crucial segments of the peptides with ureido units. These oligoureas, which are composed of urea-based units, fold into a structure similar t ... more
Physicists and material scientists have succeeded in constructing a motor and an energy storage device from one single component. They used an elastic polymer fibre closed into a ring that was made to rotate on application of an external energy supply. The researchers from the universities ... more
A Light for Time, and a Time for Light
As everybody knows, our eyes are the sensory organs that allow us to see the world around us. Light enters the eye through the pupil and strikes the photosensitive retina at the back to commence a complex biochemical and physiological process that we know as vision. This ability is vital to ... more
