Aurore Claude-Taupin is a project leader in the MembraMicS team. She obtained a PhD for her work in M. Guittaut’s lab (Besançon, France), deciphering the role of autophagy in breast cancer. She then joined V. Deretic’s lab at the Univ. of New Mexico (Albuquerque, USA) as a postdoctoral fellow to characterize the role of autophagy proteins to maintain membrane homeostasis. Afterwards, she studied autophagy regulation in response to mechanical forces when she joined INEM as a senior postdoc (E. Morel’s lab).

Since her recruitment (CRCN INSERM), Aurore is deciphering the regulation of the autophagy machinery and membrane homeostasis by shear stress, in physiology and pathology.
