Catherine Dulac is a French–American molecular biologist and neuroscientist. She is a professor at the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Harvard University and, since 2022,[7] has been the current Samuel W. Morris University Professor.[8] Prior to her appointment as University Professor, she was the Higgins Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology (from 2006)[1] and the Lee and Ezpeleta Professor of Arts and Sciences (from 2018)[9] in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University.

Early life and education

Dulac grew up in Montpellier, France. Her parents were academics and researchers in the humanities. [10] She entered the École Normale Supérieure in 1982,[11] graduating with a BSc 4 years later.[1]

She then conducted her PhD research under Nicole Marthe Le Douarin at the Institut d'Embryologie cellulaire et moléculaire (Institute of Cellular and Molecular Embryology) in Nogent-sur-Marne,[1] which was affiliated to both Collège de France and the French National Centre for Scientific Research,[12] and defended her PhD thesis at the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris in 1991.[6] She stayed at the Institut d'Embryologie cellulaire et moléculaire until 1992.[1]

Career

After her PhD, in 1993, Dulac went to Columbia University as a postdoctoral fellow in Richard Axel's group. One of the reasons for moving to the United States despite not speaking English was her desire to work on mice, which was a model organism, unlike chicken embryos that she had been working on.[2][10]

In 1996, Dulac joined the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Harvard University as an assistant professor,[1][13] She was promoted to associate professor in 2000 and then full professor in 2001.[1] She was the department chair between 2007 and 2013.[14]

Dulac was appointed Higgins Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology in 2006[1] and then Lee and Ezpeleta Professor of Arts and Sciences, a five-year position, in 2018.[15] In 2022, she was conferred with the highest honor for a Harvard academic staff, having been named one of the University Professors, the Samuel W. Morris University Professor.[16][17]

Research

Dulac has done extensive research on the molecular biology of olfactory signaling in mammals, particularly including pheromones,[18] and downstream brain circuits controlling sex-specific behaviors.[19] She developed a novel screening strategy based on screening cDNA libraries from single neurons and a new method of cloning genes from single neurons. As a postdoc, Dulac discovered the first family of mammalian pheromone receptors when working in Nobel laureate Richard Axel's laboratory at Columbia University.[20]
