Biography
Marie-Christine Broillet received her PhD in 1993 from the University of Lausanne for research on renal K channels performed with Prof. Jean-Daniel Horisberger. In 1998, after a post-doctoral training with Prof. Stuart Firestein at Columbia University (New York) where She studied olfactory cyclic nucleotide-gated channels, she joined the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology of the UNIL as a START fellow to create and lead her own research group working on ion channels and membrane receptors in olfactory neurons. In parallel to her scientific interests, Marie-Christine Broillet is personally involved in the organization of the Master of Science in Medical Biology (MSc BM) of the UNIL as well as in the formation of laboratory technicians by her chairmanship position of the “Association vaudoise pour les métiers de laboratoire” (AVML).
Research Interest
Main research interest on ion channels and membrane receptors in olfactory neurons.
