Emmanuelle Charpentier (2015)

Emmanuelle Marie Charpentier (born December 11, 1968 in Juvisy-sur-Orge , France ) is a French microbiologist , geneticist and biochemist .

Charpentier has been the head of the “Max Planck Research Center for the Science of Pathogens” in Berlin since 2018; previously she was director at the Berlin Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology since 2015 . The Max Planck Research Center is administratively independent of the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology.

Life

From 1986 Charpentier studied biology , microbiology and genetics at the University of Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris , where she obtained a Ph.D. in 1995 for her research work at the Pasteur Institute. in microbiology. From 1996 she was a postdoctoral fellow at Rockefeller University , New York University Langone Medical Center, Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine (all based in New York ) and St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis , Tennessee .

In 2002 she moved to the Max F. Perutz Laboratories of the University of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna , where she was initially employed as a visiting professor, from 2004 as an assistant professor and after her habilitation in microbiology in 2006 as an associate professor . In 2009 Charpentier went to Umeå University in Sweden. Here she set up a new working group at the Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden MIMS and received a professorship (associate professor) . The MIMS is part of "The Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine" with partner laboratories in Finland (FIMM), Denmark (DANDRITE) and Norway (NCMM). From 2013 to 2015 Charpentier was a professor at the Medical University of Hanover and headed the Regulation in Infection Biology department at the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research , Braunschweig . In 2014 she received an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship at the Hannover Medical School . The three institutions in Umeå, Hanover and Braunschweig cooperate. Until the end of 2017, she continued to work as a visiting professor at the University of Umeå, Sweden.

In 2015 Charpentier accepted the call to director of the regulation department in infection biology at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin and has since been a scientific member of the Max Planck Society . Since 2018 she has been the founding director of the independent Max Planck Research Center for the Science of Pathogens. She is an honorary professor at the Humboldt University in Berlin .

Act

Emmanuelle Charpentier is considered an innovative researcher in the field of regulatory mechanisms that underlie infection processes and the immunity of pathogenic bacteria. Her focus here is on gene regulation at the level of (bacterial) ribonucleic acid (RNA) and the molecular biological research into infections . She researches the ability of bacterial pathogens to protect themselves against foreign DNA that has penetrated the bacterial cell, e.g. B. by bacteriophages to defend. With her findings in the field of RNA-mediated regulation by the CRISPR / Cas system , Emmanuelle Charpentier has created the basis for the development of a technique with which targeted gene changes can be carried out ( CRISPR / Cas method , published in 2012 with Jennifer Doudna ) . Since 2015, Thomson Reuters has been one of the favorites for a Nobel Prize in Chemistry ( Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates ) due to the high number of her citations .
