Paul Conduit, CNRS Research Fellow and head of the “Regulation of microtubules in multicellular animals” team, was awarded the Impulscience 2023 prize by the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation last night.
Paul Conduit’s laboratory seeks to gain a fundamental understanding of how microtubule nucleation is spatio-temporally regulated in the context of multicellular animals.

Congratulations also to the other winners, notably Alexandre Baffet (Institut Curie, Paris), a former PhD student in the Guichet Lab at Institut Jacques Monod.
In 2022, Antoine Jégou, CNRS Research Director at the Institut Jacques Monod, was awarded the Impulscience 2022 prize by the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation.
The Impulscience Prize
Since 2022, the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation has been offering a new program to support France’s leading talents in life sciences research: Impulscience.
Aimed at mid-career researchers, this program meets two imperatives: to preserve the freedom of innovation of French researchers, and to support them over the long term.
Each year, Impulscience awards 7 new grants to life science researchers. Focused on mid-career, this program aims to support this crucial stage in the development of research projects.
The Foundation provides financial support of 2.3 million euros for each project over a 5-year period.
