Marc Vidal

Marc Vidal is a Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and a Researcher at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where he serves as Director of the Center for Cancer Systems Biology (CCSB). He holds a PhD from Gembloux University (Belgium, 1991) and conducted postdoctoral work at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center. His research focuses on interactome networks and protein-protein interactions, leveraging systems biology approaches to study cancer biology.

Notable achievements include developing the reverse two-hybrid system for genetic characterization of protein interactions. He has been honored with awards such as the Abbott Bioresearch Award (2003), Chercheur Qualifié (1997), and the Chaire Francqui (2005).

Dr. Vidal leads the CCSB, a multidisciplinary team advancing systems biology and cancer systems research. His work bridges molecular genetics, computational biology, and clinical oncology, with contributions to understanding network disruptions in disease.
