Dr. Charles Auffray, Research Director at CNRS, heads the Genexpress team in Functional Genomics and Systems Biology for Health, located in Villejuif, France, affiliated with the CNRS Institute of Biological Sciences.
Dr. Charles Auffray obtained the Agrégation in Physiology and Biochemistry at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan in 1975, his phD in Molecular Immunology and Genetic Engineering at Pierre & Marie Curie University of Paris VI and Pasteur Institute, Paris in 1981. From 1981-1983 he was a Post-doctoral Fellow and Junior Faculty at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Harvard University in Cambridge, USA; from 1983-1991 a Group Leader at the Institute of Embryology, CNRS and Collège de France, Nogent s/Marne; from 1991-1995 the Scientific Director of the Genexpress Program at Généthon in Evry, concurrently Head of the CNRS Research Unit in Molecular Genetics and Developmental Biology, then Functional Genomics and Systems Biology for Health in Villejuif (1991-2003).
Dr. Charles Auffray develops a systems approach to cancer and the physio-pathology of the immune, neuro-muscular and respiratory systems by integrating functional genomics tools with mathematical, physical and computational approaches. He is actively involved in the development of open-access reagent, instrumentation and information platforms, in partnership with academic and industrial groups. He co-founded the IMAGE and SYSTEMOSCOPE International Consortia to also tackle related ethical, legal, and social issues with emphasis on interdisciplinarity and public education. Dr. Charles Auffray is the co-author of 237 original publications, including 175 in peer-reviewed scientific journals and 10 books, which have received over 12,000 citations. He is a member of several international societies, review committees, and editorial boards, and the co-organizer of a series of international conferences on Functional Genomics and Systems Biology. | Home page
