Lluis Quintana-Murci

Lluis Quintana-Murci, born in 1970 in Palma de Mallorca, is a Franco-Spanish biologist.[1]

Biography

After studying biology at the University of Barcelona, he obtained a PhD in Human Genetics at the University of Pavia in Italy, and his habilitation to direct research at the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the Pasteur Institute and several internships at the Universities of Tucson (USA) and Oxford (UK), Luis Quintana-Murci joined the CNRS as a researcher in human population genetics. Since 2007, he has headed the Human Evolutionary Genetics Unit at the Pasteur Institute. Lluis Quintana-Murci's research uses a multidisciplinary approach that integrates human genetics, population genetics, epidemiology and immunology. The work carried out by his team, including those devoted to the study of the origin of Basques[2] and the genome of pygmies,[3] is regularly covered in the media.[4]

His publications are regularly cited in other scientific articles.[5]

Awards

He received the CNRS bronze medal in 2008[6] and, in 2009, the Georges, Jacques and Elias Canetti Prize from the Pasteur Institute.[7] He is elected member of the French Academy of sciences in 2019.
