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.

I was born and live in Normandy but my heart belongs to Brittany. I worked since 2005 in Neuroscience in Paris after I obtained a Master's degree in physiology of plant. I love baking and diving (but only in warm water).
I started science to understand how nephentes could have indigestion….and now I focus on the impact of nicotine during synaptogenesis.
