Organizing Committee Chair
Shixin Ye-Lehmann
INSERM Tenured Researcher, University Paris-Saclay, PhD supervisor (HDR).
Research Interests: Innovative optogenetics tools, structure function relationship of nerve receptors and their implications in diseases.
Dr. Ye-Lehmann graduated from the Chemistry Department of Peking University with a bachelor degree. Shen went to the USA in 1998 and received PhD in chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004. She was a postdoctoral researcher at the Rockefeller University in New York from 2004 to 2009. She was among the first to establish genetic code expansion in mammalian cells to investigate structural function relationship of G protein-couple receptors. approximately 40% of prescribed medicine target a member of this receptor family. She moved to France as a research fellow at the Institute of Biology of Ecole Normale Superieure (ENS) in 2010, sponsored by the Pierre-Gille de Gennes Foundation. She subsequently became a project leader in ENS and recruited by INSERM as a tenured researcher in 2011. During this period, she has discovered an array of light-sensitive NMDA receptors by the site-specific incorporation of p-azido-L-phenylalanine. In 2016, through an open call competition, she was awarded to set up a Synthetic Biology Team in the Laboratory of Computational and Quantitative Biology of the Sorbonne University. During this period, through international collaborations she has developed transgenic animals (mice and zebrafish) with an expanded genetic code using viral delivery systems, which have implications for investigation of neuronal diseases. From 2016 to 2019, she moved to the INSERM U1195 unit specialized in neurosteroids and diseases, which situated inside the Bicetre Hospital. Since then she focuses on innovative optogenetics tools to study structural-function relationships of neuronal receptors, and providing therapeutic insights for anesthesia and diseases such as the Alzheimer’s. She has published more than 50 papers in journals such as Nature, Nature Chemical Biology, PNAS, and Nature Communications, and she also serves as reviewer for journals such as Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, ChemBioChem, JACS, and Bioconjugation Chemistry etc.
