Abdou Rachid Thiam | Liliane Bettencourt Price for Life Sciences 2025
Abdou Rachid Thiam, Research Director at the CNRS and Head of the “Biological Emulsions” Group at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, develops and applies tools derived from physics to study how organelles function. Among these cellular compartments, he is particularly interested in lipid droplets. His multidisciplinary work, at the intersection of physics and biology, has revealed how cells dynamically reorganize their organelles in response to changes in lipid and energy levels.
