Draft:Nathalie Rochefort (neuroscientist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Too much of this is dependent on interviews. Thus the draft's description of NR is overly dependent on what she says about herself. But other than for matters (such as her childhood) that wouldn't contribute to her notability, it should instead be based on what's said by reliable sources that are independent of her. -- Hoary (talk) 01:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: I feel we are too early in Rochefort's career. At present I am not persuaded that she passes WP:NPROF. YouTube and Soundcloud are difficult ask references WP:YOUTUBE may help you to understand this. References must have managerial or editorial oversight and rigour. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 20:50, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Dr. Nathalie Rochefort is a Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh[1][2][3][4]. She is a recipient of the EMBO Young Investigator Award in 2019 for research contributions to the field of sensory neuroscience.[5]

Early Life and Education

[edit]

Nathalie grew up in Paris, France.[1] Rochefort earned her undergraduate degree in Life Sciences at the University Paris-Cite in Paris in 1997.[1] She then completed a Master's degree in Epistemology at both Sorbonne University and École Normale Supérieure in France.[1][6][7] She completed her Ph.D. in a joint program between Sorbonne University in France and Ruhr-Universität-Bochum in Germany.[1]

Career and Research

[edit]

From 2007 to 2012, Rochefort worked at the Institute of Neuroscience, Technical University Munich, Germany, where she helped develop two-photon calcium imaging in Arthur Konnerth's laboratory.[1] Rochefort joined the University of Edinburgh as a Chanellor's Fellow [8][9]at the Centre for Integrative Physiology.[1][4] in 2013. In 2014, she received the Sir Henry Dale Fellowship, funded by the Wellcome Trust and Royal Society.[1][4] Rochefort leads a laboratory within the Simons Initiative Developing Brain Center focused on understanding neural networking processes in visual information processing and their implications for disorders such as intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorders.[1][10] Her research demonstrated that restricted caloric intake impacts sensory processing [10]

Awards and Honors

[edit]
  • 2019: EMBO Young Investigator Award[11][12]
  • 2017: The Physiological Society’s 2017 R Jean Banister Prize[13][14][15]
  • 2014 - 2019: Sir Henry Dale fellowship from the Wellcome Trust and the Royal Society[16]
  • 2013 - Present: Chancellor's Fellow, University of Edinburgh, UK[8]
