'I grew up in Antalya and Seferihisar (Turkey), where I started an undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics. I then moved to Germany to study my masters degree in Neural and Behavioral Sciences. After working on comparative genomics, developmental and evolutionary neuroscience I came to Bonn to start my PhD on molecular mechanisms of self-recognition and cannibalistic behavior of Pristionchus pacificus. I am interested in the genomic and molecular mechanisms of neural circuits that facilitate innovative behaviours. '

Dr Marianne Roca
Postdoc
I got my master degree from the european magisterium of genetics (Paris 7) focusing during my internships on meiotic recombination in S. pombe, gut regeneration and mitotic checkpoint in D. melanogaster. I moved to the laboratoire du développement de Villefranche sur mer to do my thesis in the team of Stefania Castagnetti studying the spindle assembly checkpoint in Phallusia mammillata embryos. I am now thrilled to discover nematodes and study prey behaviours in response to predation in this wonderful team.
