Natacha Rochel

Professor, Institute of Genomics and Cellular Biology, Department of Integrated Structural Biology, the University of Strasburg, France

Biography

Professor Rochel is the Leader of a research subgroup investigating the structure-function relationship of nuclear receptors and their coregulators, involved in the chemical biophysics of transcriptional signaling. Prof. Rochel’s group is involved in the chemical biophysics of transcriptional signaling. The current research of Prof. Rochel-Guiberteau is related to the structural analysis of novel des-C-ring and aromatic-D-ring analogues of 1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, development of novel gemini-cholesterol analogs for retinoid-related orphan receptors. Prof. Rochel has recently published a fundamental review on vitamin D and its receptor (VDR) from a structural perspective as well as on VDR function and evolution based on the lamprey ligand binding domain.
