Member, ACCESS Program: Dept. of Biological Chemistry


A Short Biography:

Pascal Egea received is B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon (Lyon, France) in 1991. He then went to graduate school at the Université Louis Pasteur (Strasbourg, France) where he studied the structure and function of the retinoic acid receptors in the laboratory of Dr Dino Moras. After completing is Ph.D. in 1999, Pascal went to the University of California in San Francisco for post-doctoral training under the co-mentorship of Professors Robert Stroud and Peter Walter; during this period he studied the signal recognition particle and protein translocation pathways. Pascal joined the Department of Biological Chemistry as an assistant professor in the fall of 2009.
