Dr. Dulac is also Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University and has a joint appointment in the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School. She graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de la rue d'Ulm, Paris. She worked with Nicole Le Douarin at the Institut d'Embryologie du Collège de France on the developmental mechanisms of neural crest cell differentiation and received her Ph.D. degree from the University of Paris. As a postdoctoral fellow with Richard Axel at Columbia University, Dr. Dulac identified the first candidate genes encoding mammalian pheromone receptors. Dr. Dulac was recently elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:
Catherine Dulac is investigating the molecular logic of olfactory signaling underlying the coding of odorant- and pheromone-mediated signals and is interested in the developmental processes that ensure appropriate neuronal connections between the olfactory sensory neurons and the brain.
