Elim Hong, PhD., HDR

Principal Investigator

I was born in South Korea, did my PhD and post-doctoral research in the United States and started my lab in France in 2016. I love reading, food, traveling and the arts, which I try to incorporate into my research (some better than others). The reason why I do science is to understand why I am.

Born and raised in Lebanon. I’ve always been interested in knowing more about the brain and how the nervous system processes thoughts, emotions and behavior. In 2019, I moved to Paris to start my PhD in neuroscience!

Maroun Abi Younes, MSc.

PhD candidate

I have lived and studied in Paris region for the most part, with internships in UK and the US. I am really interested in Neuroscience in itself, and how it is seen by and incorporated into other disciplines.
