Aurore Dupin
I am a chemist turned synthetic biologist by way of philosophy. I have long been fascinated by how all living things are made of collaborative parts, and how at the lower scale, these collaborative parts are simple molecules randomly colliding. I want to explore how chemical reactions made increasingly more complex, more regulated, more cohesive, encode biological processes at higher scales.
Since 2025, I am a CNRS research fellow (chargée de recherche) in the University of Bordeaux, France. Previously, I worked on profiling antigen-antibody interactions on chips with Roy Bar-Ziv, Weizmann Institute, Israel (2020-2025). My PhD in physics explored the spatial organization of gene circuits in multicellular artificial cell assemblies with Fritz Simmel, TU Munich, Germany (2014-2019).
