Swiss-Dutch molecular biologist
Françoise Gisou van der Goot (born 19 September 1964 inTehran )[ 2] is a Swiss-Dutchcell biologist .[ 1] [ 3] She is a professor and the Vice President for Responsible Transformation atEPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) .[ 4]
Gisou van der Goot studiedengineering at theÉcole Centrale de Paris . She pursued aPhD inmolecular biophysics at theSaclay Nuclear Research Centre (Pierre and Marie Curie University ).[ 5] After her PhD, she was apostdoctoral researcher at theEuropean Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) inHeidelberg . In 1994 she worked as a group leader in the Department of Biochemistry of theUniversity of Geneva and, subsequently, from 2001 asassociate professor in the department ofmicrobiology andmolecular medicine . Since 2006, she has been full professor ofmolecular andcellular microbiology at the School of Life Sciences ofEPFL ,[ 6] [ 7] where she was also dean until 2020.[ 8] In September 2020, she was appointed Vice President for Responsible Transformation atEPFL for a term starting in 2021.[ 4]
Gisou van der Goot leads the Laboratory of Cell and Membrane Biology at theSchool of Life Sciences of theÉcole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).[ 9] Her laboratory studies various aspects ofcellular and intracellular membrane dynamics. Notably, it aims to better understand the way proteinpalmitoylation regulatesendoplasmic reticulum function andprotein trafficking ,[ 10] the mechanisms which allow bacterial proteins such as theanthrax toxin to penetrate target cells,[ 11] and the molecular mechanisms leading tojuvenile hyaline fibromatosis , a rare and debilitatinggenetic disorder .[ 12] In the context of theCOVID-19 pandemic , Gisou van der Goot declared to have dedicated part of her laboratory to studySARS-CoV-2 .[ 13]
Gisou van der Goot obtained aEuropean Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) Young Investigator award[ 14] in 2001 and anHoward Hughes International Scholar award in 2005. In 2009, she received the Leenaards Foundation Research Prize[ 15] and theMarcel Benoist Prize .[ 16] The latter two prizes were awarded for her contributions to thebiochemistry of thebacterial toxin of theanthrax pathogen at the hostcell membrane . In 2020, she was awarded theSuffrage Science award .[ 17]
She has been member of scientific boards such as theSwiss National Science Foundation ,[ 18] theSwiss Science Council and theEuropean Research Council (ERC).[ 6]
