Emmanuelle Charpentier is an academic who attended the 2016 Bilderberg. She received the 2020 Nobel Prize for chemistry, together with Jennifer A. Doudna.[1]
Background
Charpentier's paternal grandfather, surnamed Sinanian, was an Armenian who escaped to France from the Ottoman Empire during World War 1 and met his wife in Marseille.[2]
Education
She was born in 1968 in Juvisy-sur-Orge in France and studied biochemistry, microbiology, and genetics at the Pierre and Marie Curie University (which became the Faculty of Science of Sorbonne University) in Paris.[3] She was a graduate student at the Institut Pasteur from 1992 to 1995 and was awarded a research doctorate. Charpentier's PhD work investigated molecular mechanisms involved in antibiotic resistance.[4]
Career
Charpentier worked as a university teaching assistant at Pierre and Marie Curie University from 1993 to 1995 and as a postdoctoral fellow at the Institut Pasteur from 1995 to 1996. She moved to the US and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Rockefeller University in New York from 1996 to 1997. Charpentier was an assistant research scientist at the New York University Medical Center from 1997 to 1999.
After five years in the United States, Charpentier returned to Europe and became the lab head and a guest professor at the Institute of Microbiology and Genetics, University of Vienna, from 2002 to 2004. From 2004 to 2006, she was lab head and an assistant professor at the Department of Microbiology and Immunobiology. From 2006 to 2009 she worked as lab head and associate professor at the Max F. Perutz Laboratories.[5]
Charpentier moved to Sweden and became lab head and associate professor at the Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS), at Umeå University. She held the position of group leader from 2008 to 2013.[6]
In 2015, Charpentier accepted an offer from the German Max Planck Society to become a scientific member of the society and a director at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin. Since 2016, she has been an Honorary Professor at Humboldt University in Berlin. Charpentier retained her position as visiting professor at Umeå University until the end of 2017 when a new donation from the Kempe Foundations and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation allowed her to offer more young researchers positions within research groups of the MIMS Laboratory.[7] In 2018, she became the founding and acting director of the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens.[8]
