In 2018, Arthur graduated with a Ph.D. in developmental biology from the University of Strasbourg (France). For his Ph.D. project, Arthur studied the biomechanics of anteroposterior axis elongation in the chicken embryo in Olivier Pourquié’s lab at Harvard Medical School (Boston, USA). He joined Jérôme Gros’ lab (Institut Pasteur, Paris, France) in December 2019, in which he studies the biomechanics of early stages of avian embryonic development.
