Nicolas Michalski
Researcher at the Institut Pasteur
Nicolas Michalski is a neuroscience researcher currently working as a Research Lab Director at Institut Pasteur.34 He previously worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at EPFL (École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne) from December 2008 to August 2011.3
Michalski specializes in auditory neuroscience, focusing on the molecular physiology of auditory pathways in the brain.4 He is part of the team led by Christine Petit at the Genetics and Physiology department of Institut Pasteur.2 His research aims to understand the development and functioning of inhibitory neurons in the auditory cortex, particularly in relation to hereditary forms of deafness.1
Michalski's work involves studying the roles of cadherin-related proteins (cdhr15 and cdhr23) in both the cochlea and the brain, specifically their impact on the migration and maturation of inhibitory neurons in the auditory cortex.1 This research has potential implications for improving auditory rehabilitation methods for patients with specific genetic mutations affecting the auditory cortex.1
As of 2023, Michalski is actively involved in the Paris Hearing Institute, which is seeking to recruit new research groups to strengthen its program on hearing and balance disorders.5
