معرفی
Bernard Dujon is a Professor at the Institut Pasteur and formerly affiliated with University Pierre & Marie Curie (Sorbonne University). He leads multiple research projects in the field of yeast genomics and genome evolution, focusing on chromosomal rearrangements, tandem repeat instabilities, nuclear architecture, and comparative genomics of hemiascomycetous yeasts.
His research interests center on understanding the dynamic nature of eukaryotic genomes, particularly in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and related species. Key areas include DNA repair and recombination mechanisms, genome stability, evolutionary genomics, and the functional organization of the yeast nucleus. His work integrates molecular genetics, bioinformatics, and experimental biology to study how genomes evolve through hybridization, polyploidization, and structural rearrangements.
The trend in his recent publications shows a strong emphasis on genome-scale analysis, including the study of trinucleotide repeat disorders, high-order gene amplification, and interspecies hybridization in yeasts. His work frequently employs yeast as a model system to understand fundamental biological processes relevant to human diseases.
Bernard Dujon is a member of the French Academy of Sciences, reflecting his significant contributions to the field of genetics and genomics.
He has mentored researchers and collaborated on numerous projects, with a focus on genome evolution, DNA repair pathways, and fungal genomics. His research has been supported through institutional affiliations and collaborative networks in France and internationally.
He leads or has led several research teams at the Institut Pasteur, including those focused on chromosomal rearrangements, microsatellite instability, nuclear architecture, and in silico genome analysis in yeasts.
