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.

Christèle SEGURA

Engineer in Histology Core Facility

After studying at the University of Sciences and Techniques of Languedoc in Montpellier, she obtained a DEA “Adaptations and survival in extreme environments” issued by the Jean Monnet University of Saint-Etienne. Technician in the “Neurobiology of Rhythmic and Seasonal Functions” laboratory at the University Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg then in the “Histology-Embryology” laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, she deepens her knowledge in histology. After 17 years spent on the Vectorology platform of the CRCT (INSERM / Université Toulouse 3) where she acquired solid skills in the production of viral vectors, cloning and cell culture, she joined the I2MC to take responsibility for the histology platform and bring its skills and know-how to the scientific community.

Areas of expertise: Histology, Immunohistochemistry, In Situ hybridization, cell culture, vectorology
