How are brain circuits assembled during development? This question has driven the speaker’s research journey. In this session, he will present his work on axon guidance in the brainstem and visual system, highlighting the experimental approaches he has used — from mouse genetics to tissue clearing and 3D imaging. More recently, his interests have expanded to the evolution of axon guidance mechanisms, exploring diverse animal models and revisiting human embryology. Beyond the science, he will share how his path has been shaped by serendipity, collaborations, and the emergence of new technologies.
