French Academy of Sciences: recognition for an Institut Pasteur scientist

•    Laure Bally-Cuif elected as a member of the French Academy of Sciences

The French Academy of Sciences keeps up with the pace of scientific progress by regularly electing new members. This enables it to cover all scientific fields as widely as possible, including emerging fields, and encourages fruitful debates and research within its groups and committees. In the early 2000s, it amended its articles of association to move towards a younger membership: at each election session, at least 50% of new members must be under the age of 55. The Academy currently has 286 members, 120 foreign associate members and 63 corresponding members.

Following the elections in 2022, the Academy of Science elected 18 new members in December, including Laure Bally-Cuif, elected as a member in the Molecular and Cellular Biology and Genomics section.

The ceremony to welcome newly elected members was held on Tuesday June 6, 2023 at the Institut de France.
