Kristine Schauer

Kristine Schauer is DR CNRS and heads the “Cell Biology of Organelle Networks” team in the “Cancer Cell Dynamics” Unit U1279 at the Institut Gustave Roussy. Kristine studied biochemistry and biophysics at the University of Hannover in Germany and New York University in the USA. She did her PhD at the Institut Pasteur and her postdoc at the Institut Curie in Paris. Her research focuses on the intracellular landscape of organelles and how their spatio-temporal organization regulates cellular functions. Her team employs tools from mathematics, physics and engineering to set up unique pipelines under controlled culture conditions in 2D and recently 3D. The focus on intracellular organelles constitutes an original effort addressing cell perturbations beyond individual gene modification and opens exciting perspectives in the understanding and therapeutics of multifactorial diseases.
