Pierre Gönczy (born 1962 in Winterthur, Switzerland) is a Swiss and Italian cell and developmental biologist. His research focuses on centriole biology and asymmetric cell division. He is currently professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL),[1] where he directs the Laboratory of Cell and Developmental Biology.[2]

Career[edit]

Gönczy studied biology at University of Geneva and graduated in 1987 with a diploma thesis in molecular immunology at the Department of Microbiology at University of Geneva.[3] In 1995, he received a PhD for his work on developmental biology and molecular genetics from the Rockefeller University, New York City, United States.[4][5][6] From 1996 to 2000 Gönczy joined the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany as a postdoctoral research fellow with Anthony Hyman to work on cell biology, cell division, and early embryonic development.[7] In 2000, he became Junior Group leader at Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC) in Lausanne, Switzerland. In 2005, he was first nominated Associate Professor, and since 2009 has been a Full Professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).[1]

Research[edit]

Gönczy's research is in the realm of cell and developmental biology, focused mainly on the questions of centriole assembly and function, as well as asymmetric cell division.[8][9] His laboratory employs notably the model organism C. elegans and human cell lines in their research. The methods they use include functional genomics, cell biology, live imaging, super-resolution microscopy, biophysical analysis, and electron cryotomography.[10][11][12] He spearheaded the first ever functional genomic screening of a metazoan organism, leading to the systematic discovery of the function of the compendium of genes needed to build an embryo.[7]

Distinctions[edit]

Gönczy is recipient of the EMBO Young Investigator Program Award (2000).[13] In 2005, he was elected an EMBO member.[1][14] He was co-founder of the startup company Cenix Bioscience.[15] He was a Whitman Fellow at the Marine Biology Laboratory, Woods Hole, USA in 2015, 2017, and 2018.[16][17][18]
