Presentation

After studying at the Université Pierre-et-Marie-Curie (Paris) and the École Normale Supérieure, Béatrice Golinelli completed a thesis in enzymology at the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris on an ammonia-channel enzyme involved in sugar biosynthesis, under the supervision of Dr. Bernard Badet. After a year at Harvard University (USA), she obtained a position at the CNRS and then trained in X-ray crystallography in Pr Joël Janin's laboratory in Orsay, then in Gif-sur-Yvette (Laboratoire d'enzymologie et de biochimie structurales). There, she worked with Marcel Knossow on catalytic antibodies and with Henri Grosjean on tRNA-modifying enzymes. Since February 2012, she has joined the Chemistry of Biological Processes Laboratory at the Collège de France, where she studies iron-sulfur-centered enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of thiolated nucleotides in tRNAs.
