Event Details

Iris Salecker is group leader at The Francis Crick Institute in London.

In 2000, she moved to the UK to establish her first independent research group as a career-track and subsequently tenured program leader in the Division of Molecular Neurobiology at the Medical Research Council National Institute for Medical Research in London (now part of the Francis Crick Institute). She became part of the EMBO Young Investigator program in 2003 and an EMBO member in 2013. Her current team, consisting of two PhD students and three postdoctoral fellows, continues to study the mechanisms underlying visual circuit assembly in Drosophila, with a special interest in axon-target and neuron-glia interactions.
