Virginie Lecaudey

Prof. Virginie Lecaudey is a faculty member at the Institute for Cell Biology and Neuroscience of Goethe University Frankfurt, leading research in the Department of Developmental Biology of Vertebrates. Her work focuses on cellular coordination during vertebrate organ development using zebrafish as a model system.

• Key research areas: Cell shape dynamics, Organ size control, and Neuromast assembly
• Methodologies: Live confocal imaging, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, and 3D-printed embryo mounting

Her publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches integrating mechanosensory organ development, cell signaling pathways, and vascular biology. While no formal awards are listed, her work contributes significantly to understanding collective cell migration and organogenesis mechanisms.
