Patrick Laurent: Principal Investigator from Mons, Belgium. Worm geek & biology lover. Spend most of my time trying to understand how genes control neuronal function and ageing. As PI, I am writing papers, messing around in the lab, and thinking about new experiments and projects. As a person, I love good food and beer, surprising music and walking in natural landscapes… If you have any questions send me an email!
