Daniel Chourrout

d.chourrout-2Director, General Sars Centre for Marine Molecular Biology (NORWAY)
Title: What Happened to the Genome of Vertebrate Closest Living Relatives?
9:45 AM Monday

Daniel Chourrout has a PhD in Genetics from the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris and is since 1997 Director of the Sars International Centre for Marine Molecular Biology in Bergen (Norway) and Professor at the University of Bergen. The Sars Centre is an official partner of E.M.B.L. and mostly involved to the evolution of animal diversity, using a variety of marine model systems. His personal research is on the rapid evolution of tunicates, sister-group of vertebrates, with emphasis on changes of genome organization. Before moving to Norway, Daniel Chourrout was heading the fish genetics lab of I.N.R.A. (Jouy en Josas, France) and mainly focused on genome manipulations in rainbow trout and medaka.
