Thibaut Brunet is a group leader at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France, where he works on choanoflagellates (known as 'choanos' for short). These unicellular organisms are close relatives of animals that have the potential to form multicellular assemblies under certain conditions, and Thibaut's lab are leveraging them to gain insights into how animal morphogenesis evolved. We met with Thibaut over Zoom to discuss his career path so far, and learnt how an early interest in dinosaurs contributed to his life-long fascination with evolutionary biology.
蒂博·布鲁内特（Thibaut Brunet）是法国巴黎巴斯德研究所（Institut Pasteur）的一个团队负责人，主要研究领鞭毛虫（简称“choanos”）。这些单细胞生物与动物的亲缘关系非常密切，在某些条件下有潜力形成多细胞体。蒂博的实验室正在利用它们来深入了解动物形态发生是如何进化的。我们通过 Zoom 与蒂博会面，讨论了他迄今为止的职业道路，并了解到他对恐龙的早期兴趣如何促使他对进化生物学产生了终身的迷恋。
