Clare
Hudson carried out her
PhD studies in the
group of Hugh Woodland in Warwick University,
England (1994-1997) where she studied the formation of the vegetal cell
fates
endoderm and germ cells in Xenopus
laevis. She then joined Patrick
Lemaire's lab in the IBDM, Marseille, France (1998-2002), where
she helped to set up the use of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis as a
model
system in the laboratory. Her studies focused on the early development
of the anterior
part of
the ascidian nervous system, the so-called a-line neural lineage. She
then joined Hitoyoshi Yasuo's lab as
a postdoc in Oct 2002 and was recruited into the French research
organisation,
the CNRS, the following year.
