Dr. Nathalie Rochefort is a Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh.[1][2]. She is a recipient of the EMBO Young Investigator Award in 2019 for research contributions to the field of sensory neuroscience[3] and a Women in Neuroscience UK (WiNUK) Award for Leading Researcher in Cognition and Neurodevelopment.
Early Life and Education
Nathalie grew up in Paris, France.[1] Rochefort earned her undergraduate degree in Life Sciences at the University Paris-Cite in Paris in 1997,a Master's degree in Epistemology at both Sorbonne University and École Normale Supérieure in France, followed by a PhD in a joint program between Sorbonne University in France and Ruhr-Universität-Bochum in Germany.
Career and Research
Rochefort joined the University of Edinburgh as a Chanellor's Fellow [4][5]at the Centre for Integrative Physiology in 2013. In 2014, she received the Sir Henry Dale Fellowship, funded by the Wellcome Trust and Royal Society. Rochefort leads a laboratory within the Simons Initiative 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[6].
Rochefort's research demonstrated that restricted caloric intake impacts sensory processing in a sex-specific manner[6][7]. Rochefort was on the team that developed a hair-thin fiber endoscope for studying brain activity[8][9]. She is the chair of the Wellcome Trust Brain and Behavioural Sciences Early-Career Advisory Group[10]
