Pierre Roubertoux

Pierre L. Roubertoux (born June 26, 1937)[1] is a French behavioral geneticist.

In 2005, he became an emeritus professor at the University of the Mediterranean and began working at INSERM U910, a medical genetics laboratory in Marseille.

[4][5] Roubertoux was president-elect of the Behavior Genetics Association (BGA) in 1995 when the organization's then-president, Glayde Whitney, gave a highly controversial presidential address.

Along with Wim Crusio, who was a member-at-large of the BGA's executive committee at the time, Roubertoux resigned from the organization in protest of what he considered their failure to enact sufficiently strong sanctions against Whitney for his address.

[1] In 2017, a study he co-authored on a mouse model of trisomy 21 received the BGA's Fulker Award, which is given to a "particularly meritorious paper" published in the organization's official journal, Behavior Genetics.
