Biography: 

Anne Gatignol obtained a pharmacist diploma and a PhD in Microbiology from the University of Toulouse, France. She completed her post-doctoral training in Biochemistry at the George Washington University, Washington DC, and in Virology at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, MD, USA. She worked as a researcher from the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) at the Cochin Institute, Paris, France. Now a senior investigator at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research, and full Professor at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, her current focus is on various aspects of virology and molecular biology, specifically as applied to virus-cell interactions and to the development of RNA therapeutics against the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and SARS-CoV-2. Her group’s aim is to express RNA therapeutics against HIV on a lentiviral vector that will permanently deliver the anti-HIV RNAs in hematopoietic stem cells and their lineage in the blood stream.
