CSI Seminar – Assertive Communication and Boundary Setting
Academic environments thrive on the exchange of ideas through collaboration — yet the way we communicate profoundly shapes collegial relationships. From daily interactions and departmental dynamics to supervision, workload expectations, and difficult conversations, healthy communication — including the ability to set clear, professional boundaries — is an essential skill.In this seminar, we will explore how […]

Stress-responsive pathways in pathophysiological prenatal brain development
Professor Valérie Mezger, Université de Paris Abstract The Development and Environment Interface team led by Valérie Mezger studies the impact of stress on cell identity. We aim to understand how prenatal stress perturbs neural cell fate and therefore contributes to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) through transcriptomic and epigenetic components of stress responses to shape normal and pathological neurodevelopment. For this, we focus […]
