معرفی
Ivan Matic is a distinguished Research Professor and First Class Research Director at the CNRS, leading the laboratory 'Robustness and evolvability of life' at the Institut Cochin (Université de Paris, France). His career spans over three decades in molecular, evolutionary, and medical genetics, with prior roles including Director of INSERM Research Units and academic positions at institutions such as the Institute Jacques Monod and the University of Zagreb.
Education:
- PhD in Cellular and Molecular Genetics (1995), University of Paris XI, France
- Master in Molecular Genetics (1990), University of Zagreb, Croatia
- Engineer Degree in Environmental Biology (1983), Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Zagreb
Research Focus: Ivan Matic explores key evolutionary questions, including mutation rate dynamics, phenotypic variability, and bacterial adaptation. His work integrates molecular mechanisms with ecological and evolutionary processes, addressing antibiotic resistance, DNA repair, and genome stability. Notable contributions include studies on stress responses and the evolution of mutation rates in microbial systems.
Awards and Recognition:
- 2021 Elected to Membership in the Academy of Europe
- 2016 FEBS National Lecturer
- 2015 Fellowship in the American Academy of Microbiology
Labs & Leadership: Currently heads the 'Robustness and evolvability of life' lab at Institut Cochin. Previously directed INSERM U1001 and led the Molecular, Evolutionary, and Medical Genetics laboratory. No formal advisee list is available, though his research teams have produced groundbreaking work in microbial evolution.
