Julien Hiblot, 31 years old, performed his studies at Lorraine University (FR) by completing a Master in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology together with a Magister in Microbiology and Enzymology. After a PhD in Structural Biology at Aix-Marseille University in the laboratories AFMB and URMITE, he continued with a postdoc at EPFL (CH) in the Laboratory of Protein Engineering (LIP). He is now senior scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (Heidelberg, DE) in the department of Chemical Biology. His research interests are mostly focused on developing semi-synthetic biosensors for answering complex biological questions. These semi-synthetic biosensors shed light on signaling and/or metabolic pathways by allowing visualization and tracking in areas that have previously been in the dark.
