MIT (USA), ambassadeur @INC CNRS

Chimiste et biochimiste, professeure titulaire de la chaire Novartis de chimie au Massachusset Institute of Technology (MIT, USA), Laura L. Kiessling mène des recherches sur l’élucidation et l’exploitation des interactions à la surface des cellules, en particulier celles médiées par les protéines se liant aux glucides, en particulier dans l’élaboration de nouvelles stratégies thérapeutiques. Son approche interdisciplinaire combine la synthèse organique, la chimie des polymères, la biologie structurale et la biologie moléculaire et cellulaire. Laura Kiessling vient à Montpellier dans le cadre du programme « Ambassadeurs @INC » (Ambassadeurs CNRS des Sciences Chimiques en France), qui promeut l’invitation en France de collègues étrangers mondialement reconnus, en leur organisant une tournée de conférences dans des laboratoires travaillant sur le même domaine. C’est ainsi une occasion rare offerte d’échanger “en direct” dans nos instituts avec une pointure internationale.

Biosketch:

Laura Kiessling received a B.Sc. degree in chemistry at MIT, where she performed undergraduate research in organic synthesis with Professor Bill Roush. She received a Ph.D. degree in chemistry at Yale University for her research with Stuart L. Schreiber. She was an American Cancer Society postdoctoral fellow with Peter B. Dervan at California Institute of Technology. She then joined the faculty at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she became the Steenbock Professor of Chemistry, the Laurens Anderson Professor of Biochemistry, and the Director of the Keck Center for Chemical Genomics. In 2017, she returned to MIT as the Novartis Professor of Chemistry.

Laura Kiessling is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, the American Academy of Microbiology, the American Philosophical Society, and National Academy of Sciences. She is the founding Editor-In-Chief of the journal ACS Chemical Biology. She is an author of over 140 peer-reviewed journal articles, and an inventor on more than 28 US patents. She has advised approximately 100 graduate students and postdoctorates. Alumni from her research group are contributing through their positions as faculty members of distinguished research universities, medical schools, and colleges and as research scientists at innovative start-up companies, leading corporations, and government laboratories.
