I have concentrated my past and current work on three main research topics: (i) the genetic history of human populations with distinct modes of subsistence, (ii) the role of admixture in genetic adaptation, and […]
Born and bred in Alsace, France, I did my PhD at the Institut de Biologie Moleculaire et Cellulaire of Strasbourg, in the laboratory of Prof. Jules Hoffmann under the supervision of Dr. Dominique Ferrandon. […]
I currently lead a research unit in the Virology department of Institut Pasteur. My research interests lie in RNA virus discovery, emergence, transmission, and evolution. Within the group, we use viral genomics to study […]
Intracellular traffic and cell compartmentalization Eukaryotic cells contain extensive internal membranes defining many compartments having each specific functions. However these organelles are constantly moving and reshaping, still retaining their identity. The maintenance of cell […]
Since the beginning of my career, my goal has been to understand the mechanisms of effector immune responses to viruses and the related viral countermeasures. During my thesis, I studied the origin of type […]
Our aim is to characterise stem cells and their daughters during embryonic and postnatal development of skeletal muscle to understand how this tissue is established, and how it regenerates. We are examining the genetic […]
SCIENTIFIC POSITIONS Head of Auditory Therapies Innovation Laboratory at the Hearing Institute (an Institut Pasteur Center), Paris Professor “Classe Exceptionnelle” at Institut Pasteur, Paris Professor Emeritus at Collège de France, Chair of Genetics […]
This is an example of transplanted human iPSC derived cells.
I was trained as a chemist and did my PhD (Paris) and post-doctoral fellowship (Brighton) in organic synthesis. He then joined the Pasteur Institute as a CNRS researcher to work on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, […]
Having begun my research career investigating mitochondria in plants and then neurological diseases, I discovered the first mutations of the NLGN3, NLGN4X and SHANK3 genes in autism highlighting the main role of the synapse […]
