Hello, I'm Julia Morales, I'm a CNRS researcher here
at the Marine Biological Station of Roscoff and my favourite model is the sea urchin
and especially the early stages of development following fertilisation
and up to the first cell cycle. I'm interested in the regulation of translation
which is the production of proteins that is necessary for the first step of translation.
So what you will learn during this course is to manipulate the urchins, collect the
gametes to fertilisation and follow the early steps of development, follow the
kinetics of development and you will also learn principles of translation regulation
and how to analyse translation also at the genome-wide level.
Hi, I'm Patrick Cormier, I'm a professor from Sorbonne Université and I work at the
Marine Station of Roscoff and we use the sea urchin as a model for translational
and regulational cell cycle analysis. So during this course you will learn
how to use this animal, how to obtain the cells, how to follow the cell cycle
in relation with the translational machinery and we have also to
study the different milestones that have been discovered during the last century.
