A distinguished biologist at our Scientific Board

Dr Henri-Marc Bourbon has been working for more than 25 years on the multiprotein Mediator (MED) complex which has a very important role in genes regulation. He is the "inventor" of the MED13L gene (MED for Mediator, number 13, and L for "like"). His team takes advantage of the Drosophila genetic model to investigate the molecular bases underlying the functional specificity of dedicated MED subunits in the transcriptional control of cell fate specification in-vivo.
