Biography
Agathe Subtil is directrice de recherche at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). After a PhD on endocytosis of membrane receptors under the supervision of Alice Dautry-Varsat at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, she joined the lab headed by Tim McGraw in the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York to study the traffic of glucose transporters. She was recruited by the CNRS in 1999 and started applying her cell biology training to the study of the interactions between an obligate intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia, and its eukaryotic host. The recent activities of her laboratory, at the Institut Pasteur, focus on the effects of infection on the host cell intracellular compartments and nucleus.
