Anne Dejean-Assémat was educated at the Pierre et Marie Curie University in Paris, graduating with a Master of Science degree in Genetics in 1981. She then earned her PhD from the University Pierre et Marie Curie at the Institut Pasteur in 1988 under the supervision of Piotr Slonimski.

Science

A molecular biologist, Anne Dejean-Assémat investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the development of human cancers.

She discovered the role of mutations in retinoic acid receptors in liver cancer and acute promyelocytic leukaemia and dissected the molecular mechanisms underlying their role in oncogenesis and treatment sensitivity. Anne Dejean-Assémat and her collaborators have made important advances in understanding the origin of certain cancers and have opened up unique perspectives for new targeted therapeutic leads.
