Foreign Members

Bonnie Lynn Bassler is an American molecular biologist who revolutionized microbiology with her discovery of the use of chemical communication between bacteria known as quorum sensing, as well as the idea that disruption of chemical signaling can be used as an antimicrobial therapy. She is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and Professor at Princeton University and in the Department of Molecular Biology with a research focus in cell-to-cell communication in bacteria. She has received numerous awards for this paradigm-changing scientific research, including the Wiley Prize in Biomedical Sciences (2009), the Richard Lounsbery Award (2011), and the L’Oreal-UNESCO award (2012), a MacArthur Fellowship (2002), and the Pearl Meister Greengard Prize (2016). She is a former president of the American Society for Microbiology, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and a former six-year member of National Science Board, having been nominated to the latter position by President Barack Obama.

Avelino Corma Canos Spanish chemist

Avelino Corma Canós is a Spanish chemist distinguished for his world-leading work on heterogeneous catalysis.

Denis Duboule Swiss-French biologist

Denis Duboule is a Swiss-French biologist. He earned his PhD in Biology in 1984 and is currently Professor of Developmental Genetics and Genomics at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and at the Department of Genetics and Evolution of the University of Geneva. Since 2001, he is the Director of the Swiss National Research Center "Frontiers in Genetics" and since 2017, he is also a professor at the Collège de France.
