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 (YIP) 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] At age 11, she applied for and spent a week at a space camp, in the South of France, with real astronauts who taught her, as well as other children, typical astronaut training.[1]

Rochefort began her undergraduate studies in 1995 at the University Paris-Cite in Paris, France where she earned her undergraduate degree in Life Sciences after 2 years in 1997.[1] After receiving her undergraduate degree, she began a 3-year Magistere program in Biology and Biochemistry at both Sorbonne University and École Normale Supérieure in France.[1] Starting in 2000, she used her third year of the Magistere program to pursue a Master's degree in Epistemology.[1] By 2001, she had received her Bachelors of Science in Biology and Biochemistry, as well as a Master's degree in Epistemology.[1]

Following the completion of her Master's thesis on color vision, Nathalie began her Ph.D. in Neuroscience.[1] She was accepted into a Neuroscience Ph.D. program conducted 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 Chancellor's Fellow 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 Simon's Initiative for 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][6] Her research demonstrated that restricted caloric intake impacts sensory processing [6].
