Julia Sliwa has been recruited as a Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique Associate Scientist in 2019 and started the same year her research program at the Paris Brain Institute. Previously, she trained as a Kavli Post-Doctoral Fellow and a Human Frontier Science Program Post-Doctoral Fellow at The Rockefeller University in the Laboratory of Pr.Winrich Freiwald. She received her PhD degree from the University of Lyon following training at Institut des Sciences Cognitives Marc Jeannerod under the guidance of Dr. Sylvia Wirth and of Dr. Jean-Rene Duhamel. Dr. Sliwa is a recipient of an ERC Starting Grant, of the Peter and Patricia Gruber International Research Award in Neuroscience, of the Young Researchers Bettencourt Prize and of the Association de Femmes Françaises Diplômées d’Université - Dorothy Leet Award. Her research has been featured in Scientific American Magazine, Aeon and other international news outlets.
