EMBO: recognition for an Institut Pasteur scientist
- Simonetta Gribaldo elected as a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)
The aim of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) is to promote excellence in biology by supporting talented researchers at all stages of their careers, stimulating dialog and encouraging the development of an outstanding scientific environment in the field of life sciences.
Some 50 to 60 researchers, leaders in their fields, join EMBO each year after being elected in a highly selective process by the organization's members. Together with the other members, they play a fundamental role in organizing and influencing the direction of European biology research.
The prestigious organization recently announced the election of 69 new members, including Simonetta Gribaldo, Head of the Evolutionary Biology of the Microbial Cell Unit, for her research on the large-scale evolution of microorganisms.
