Rémy FLORES-FLORES

IE (INSERM Research Engineer) 

Since January 2019, he is the head of the I2MC imaging department where he brings his expertise and skills in optical microscopy and image analysis to the scientific community.

Career path
Rémy Flores-Flores obtained a master’s degree in Physics, specialising in the Exploration of the Living Environment in 2012 from the Joseph Fourrier University and a master’s degree in Optical and Laser Instrumentations in 2013. In 2014 he joined the imaging platform and the team of P.F. Lenne at IBDM (Institut de Biologie du Développement de Marseille) where he deepened his knowledge in instrumentation and optical microscopy for biology and image analysis. In 2018 he was recruited as an engineer at INSERM and joined the TRI imaging platform at I2MC.
