Laurent J. CATOIRE is a researcher at the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Paris and has an extended expertise in the biochemistry of membrane proteins and various surfactants and lipids, and also in NMR spectroscopy.
He obtained his Ph.D. in Molecular Biophysics in 1999 on the study of the dynamics of various carbohydrates by NMR, followed by two postdocs, first in Nancy (ENSIC) and at the Rockefeller University in New-York in the laboratory of Molecular Biophysics. He joined the Laboratory of Physical and Chemical Biology of Membrane Proteins in 2003.
Today, his research essentially focuses on the dynamics aspects of signal transduction by G Protein-Coupled Receptors.
