About PEPR Cell-ID:  The Cell-ID research program focuses on unraveling the molecular mechanisms of cell fate determination within neural development and its aberrations in specific childhood brain cancers.

Our work aims to develop strategies for interceptive medicine — preventing disease progression by targeting early events in cancer development.

Led by CNRS and Inserm in partnership with major French institutions and international collaborators, Cell-ID integrates omics technologies with advanced imaging to study genome function and 3D nuclear organization in neural tissues under normal and pathological conditions.

By combining cutting-edge molecular tools, selected experimental models, and computational predictive models, this multi-lab program strives to uncover and influence cell trajectories during neural development.

Eligibility criteria

• We welcome applications from excellent and highly motivated students of all nationalities with a passion for science. There is no application fee.
• Applicants must hold a Master degree or expect to obtain it before the start of the program. The applicants need to have both a BSc and MSc or equivalent (usually 5 years of university studies) to be eligible to join the program.
