Laureates of the Doctoral Research Award Day

8 PhD students presented their doctoral research on Friday 17 June, during the second edition of the Bordeaux Neurocampus Doctoral Research Award Day.

Congratulations to the 4 laureates:

– Noemie Depret (Casden Prize) – Magendie
– Zoé Grivet – IMN
– Catherine Marneffe – IINS
– Agata Nowacka – IINS

The second edition of this Day was really appreciated by the participants, the public and the jury. Congratulations to the 8 students, who all give a very good talk!

We thank the members of the jury (Jérôme Baufreton, Anna Brachet, Françoise Coussen, François Georges, Jean-Louis Guillou, Aude Panatier, Monique Vallée, Daniel Voisin and Laure Zago).
