April 2021

In 2021 the Jury selected Dr. Aurélien Villedieu for an accessit of the SFBD Thesis Prize. The Jury considered his manuscript was of an exceptional quality.

Following a pre-selection of the 6 applications received by all the members of the board, 3 thesis manuscripts were evaluated in depth by the three members of this year’s jury composed by François Agnès, Claire Chazaud and Julien Vermot.
The jury sought to measure the quality and scope of the work, the importance of the individual contribution of the candidate to the work and finally the clarity of the writing and the discussion depth on the manuscript. This year, the Jury decided to award the SFBD thesis prize to Alexandre Chuyen for his PhD entitled:
“Molecular and cellular basis of pattern establishment in a vertebrate epithelium”.
