Congratulations to Patrick LEMAIRE, CNRS Research Director from the
Centre de recherche en biologie cellulaire de Montpellier (CRBM) – CNRS / Université de Montpellier, member of France BioImaging Montpellier Node, who has been awarded the Mottart prize.

With his team members, Patrick Lemaire is studying the embryonic development of a small marine invertebrate, the sea squirt Phallusia mammillata, chosen for the simplicity and transparency of its embryos. His latest work has combined microscopy, image analysis and mathematical modeling approaches to describe, cell by cell, the embryogenesis of this animal and to analyze the role of communication between cells.
