Xavier Darzacq PhD

Xavier Darzcaq did his Ph.D with Dr. Tamas Kiss at the University of Toulouse were he discovered the first function of Cajal bodies. Whereas his university and PhD studies were more orientated toward biochemistry and cell biology, he decided in 2002 to join the Laboratory of Dr. Robert Singer at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to be trained in light microscopy techniques for single molecule imaging in live cells, in one of the most renowned laboratories in the world. The reason behind this choice was to acquire a new technology that complements his other experimental competences and allows him to directly “look” at single-molecule events inside a cell.
