Anne Ridley
Cell migration plays an essential role in wound repair, as well as in immune and inflammatory responses. Anne Ridley has demonstrated that a dysfunction in these migration processes can promote the spread of cancer and the onset...
Ivan Matic et François Taddei
Using Escherichia coli as a model, Ivan Matic and François Taddei documented a novel mode of aging involving the clonal descendants of this bacteria. This discovery is essential to deciphering the molecular mechanisms of aging in...
Peter Carmeliet
Can we stop our blood vessels from developing? Peter Carmeliet has been working on this problem for many years. By decoding the mechanisms that control the development of our vascular system, he is paving the way for innovative...
Judith Melki
Certain DNA mutations can cause very serious diseases which are associated with disability. To help patients with neuromuscular disorders, Judith Melki has devoted herself to studying the mechanisms that cause these conditions...
Antonio Simeone
During embryonic development, the brain follows a development plan governed by the same genes as those of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. This major discovery, among others, earned Antonio Simeone a prize from the Fondation...
Jamel Chelly
What are the genetic origins of intellectual disability? This complex and understudied question is central to Jamel Chelly’s research. Step by step, he is finding answers that could help people with certain neurodevelopmental...
Marc Parmentier
Marc Parmentier is a scientist who likes to solve riddles involving proteins. Using a method that he devised himself, he has managed to identify the function of certain key receptors previously considered a mystery. His research...
