Olivier List

Basically, I am an insect physiologist specialized, throught my experiences, in insect neurophysiology.

I have made my PhD in the Evolution and Ecology laboratory in University Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris and in the Cell genetic lab in the Tokyo Metropolitan University in Japan as a student of the college doctoral Franco-Japonais. During my PhD, I mainly focus on aging process, longevity and oxidative stress using a well known but sometime unpredictable model: Drosophila melanogaster.

After my PhD, I joined the Tom Matheson's Neurobiology group in Leicester University. I worked on the relationship between ageing, nitric oxide and phase change in locusts.

I then oriented my career throught insect neurophysiology and joined the Juusola Vision lab in Sheffield. I worked on motion coding in Drosophila brain, how color and motion informations from the environment are routed throught the fly eye to the brain and how they interact to improve visual information coding.

Today I work as research assistant in the RCIM lab in Angers in France. I study ion channels with Steeve Thany as well as olfactory plasticity in Agrotis ipsilon moth with Sylvia Anton
