Uwe Schlattner, PU, Director of the LBFA

  Director of LBFA
Director of SFR Environmental and Systems Biology (BEeSy)
Senior member, nomination at the Institut Universitaire de France
  The research of U. Schlattner addresses molecular mechanisms of cellular energy homeostasis, their spatial and temporal integration within the cell (systems aspects), and their role in human health and disease. The prime interest is in energy-, nutrient- and stress-dependent cell signaling via reversible protein phosphorylation and mitochondrial kinases involved in nucleotide exchange and signaling between mitochondria and the cytosol. These include AMP-activated protein kinases, nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NME proteins) and creatine kinases.
  After studies in biology at the Universities of Stuttgart-Hohenheim and Freiburg i.Br. (Germany), U. Schlattner obtained a PhD in Biochemistry at the Univ. of Geneva (Switzerland). In 1986, he moved as a research fellow to the ETH Zürich (Swiss Federal Inst. of Technology), where he worked with Prof. Theo Wallimann on creatine kinases, obtained his teaching qualification (habilitation) and became lecturer (1992-1998). In 1995, he was nominated professor at the Univ. Joseph Fourier (UJF), now part of the Univ. Grenoble Alpes, and received a chaire d’excellence (2007-2010). Between 2008 and 2012, he was member of the board of vice-presidents research at UJF, and of the Inserm commission CSS3. Since 2011, he directs the unit LBFA-Inserm U1055 and the Federal Research Structure BEeSy. He also served as elected treasurer and co-chair of the Bioenergetics Subgroup of the Biophysical Society (USA) between 2008 and 2013, and again since 2019. In 2018, he was nominated senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France.
