Amandine Marechal

Amandine Marechal is a Professor of Biochemistry and Bioenergetics at University College London's School of Natural Sciences, affiliated with the Institute of Structural Molecular Biology (ISMB). She holds a PhD from Université Paris Sud (2007) and a Magistère in Chemistry from École Normale Supérieure Ulm (2004). Her research focuses on mitochondrial respiratory chain supercomplexes, cytochrome c oxidase mechanisms, and FTIR spectroscopy applications. Key projects include MRC-funded studies on proton-coupled electron transfer and Royal Society-funded work on cytochrome c oxidase catalytic cycles.

Research interests span bioenergetics, enzyme catalysis, and structural biology. Notable awards include the MRC Transition Support Award (2021) and Career Development Award (2015). She teaches modules like 'Research Methods in the Biosciences' and supervises PhD students in her areas of expertise. Postdoctoral staff include Dr. Thomas Gruhl. Her lab explores mitochondrial dysfunction and structural biology using advanced imaging and spectroscopic techniques.
