Geneviève Almouzni (born 1960) is a French biologist, a specialist in epigenetics and director of the Curie Institute's research centre.
[1] Geneviève Almouzni was born in Algeria and studied at the École normale supérieure de Fontenay-aux-Roses from 1980 to 1985.
In 1988, she defended a thesis in microbiology at the Université Pierre-et-Marie-Curie on the use of a system derived from xenope eggs to study DNA chromatin replication and assembly under the supervision of Marcel Méchali.
[5] Her research focuses on cancer prevention, including the role of certain proteins in tumor development.
[citation needed] Geneviève Almouzni studies the transmission of genetic and epigenetic information in eukaryotic cells, particularly through chromatin assembly mechanisms, and the impact of potential errors at this level of regulation, particularly on cancer.
