Caroline Fabre did her PhD at the LMB in Cambridge (UK). Her PhD work investigated the genetics and development underlying mechanosensory perception in Drosophila. As an EMBO long-term postdoctoral fellow in Oxford she reported her discovery that flies communicate using substrate-borne vibrations during courtship, thereby becoming a fly biotremologist. Caroline then came back to the University of Cambridge to pursue this avenue of research in the Department of Zoology, where she also lectured and supervised in Neuroethology. In 2023 Caroline obtained funding from the European Union and the Paris Region to pursue her work on substrate-borne vibrations and join the Institut of Ecology and Environmental sciences in Paris.
