Eric Karsenti obtained a Ph.D. in Immunology and Cell Biology at the Pasteur Institute in Paris in 1979. Then he moved to the University of California in San Francisco until 1984, before establishing his own group at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg in 1985.
He contributed largely to the understanding of the cell cycle clock and mitosis. Over the past 15 years, he developed and directed the Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit at EMBL in which he hired an interdisciplinary team of group leaders including cell biologists, geneticists, physicists, and imaging developers. They all had in common an interest in the understanding of cell and organism morphogenesis. Besides being a Senior Scientist at EMBL, Eric Karsenti is also Research Director at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), a member of EMBO and the French Academy of Sciences, and since 2009 he is the Scientific Director of the TARA OCEANS expedition.
