Hélène Chanut – Resercher at Centre de Biologie Intégrative | CNRS, Toulouse, France

Hélène Chanut is a CNRS researcher at the Centre de Biologie Intégrative (CBI) in Toulouse, where she investigates morphogenetic processes using Drosophila melanogaster as a genetic model. Throughout her career, she has been driven by a strong interest in imaging-based approaches to study how tissues change shape, with a particular focus on analyzing the dynamics of cells and tissues in living organisms. Her current research focuses on the spermatheca, a female reproductive organ in Drosophila that undergoes significant morphological remodeling after mating. This gland plays a crucial role in long-term sperm storage by secreting molecules essential for sperm maintenance and survival. By using advanced imaging technologies such as Tomocube, she aims to visualize the structural changes in secretory cells triggered by mating, providing new insights into tissue plasticity and reproductive biology.
