Marcelle Kaufman

Marcelle Kaufman is a Professor at Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), specializing in computational and systems biology. Her work focuses on modeling biological regulatory networks, particularly in immunology and gene regulation, using deterministic and stochastic approaches.

Educational Background:

• Licence en Chimie (1968), ULB
• PhD in Sciences (1973), ULB
• Agrégée de l’Enseignement Supérieur (1996), Belgian National Science Foundation

Research Interests: Marcelle investigates the spatial-temporal organization of biological systems, feedback circuits in regulatory networks, and the link between network topology and dynamic behavior. She developed tools for modeling genetic regulatory networks and cell differentiation processes.

Scientific Awards:

• Elected Member, Royal Academy of Sciences, Letters and Fine Arts of Belgium (2005)
• Adolphe Wetrems Prize (1996)
• Jean Stas Prize (1973)

Academic Contributions: She has directed PhD and master’s theses, co-founded ULB’s Master program in Bioinformatics and Modeling, and contributed to over 100 publications. Her research involves interdisciplinary projects funded at European and national levels.
