Terence Strick

Terence Strick is a French Researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the Institute Jacques Monod in Paris. At 34, he received the EURYI Award in 2007 for pioneering work on single-molecule studies of biological nano-machines.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Mechanical Supercoiling of DNA with highest honours from the Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris
• Undergraduate studies at Princeton University

Strick's research focuses on biophysics and molecular biology, utilizing single-molecule approaches to investigate DNA mechanics and the functioning of molecular motors. His methodologies combine nanomanipulation and fluorescence imaging to observe real-time interactions, providing mechanistic insights that could inform drug discovery.

He has been honored with the EURYI Award (2007) and has published in top-tier journals including Science, Nature, and PNAS. Additionally, he is a sought-after speaker at international conferences on DNA biophysics.

As a principal investigator, Strick leads a research group at the Institute Jacques Monod, advancing the understanding of biological nano-machines.
