Paul Guichard is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), where he co-leads the Guichard-Hamel Laboratory with Virginie Hamel. Their team investigates the molecular architecture and assembly mechanisms of centrioles using cutting-edge methods such as Cryo-electron microscopy and Expansion Microscopy. Paul Guichard earned his PhD in structural cell biology at Institut Curie (2007–2010) and pursued postdoctoral research at EPFL (2011–2015). In 2015, he joined UNIGE as Assistant Professor, becoming Associate Professor in 2021. Together with Virginie Hamel, he has received prestigious recognitions including an EMBO Young Investigator Award (2020), the Friedrich Miescher Award (2022), ERC Starting and Consolidator Grants (2017, 2022), and the Cloëtta Prize (2025), for groundbreaking contributions to centriole biology and Ultrastructure Expansion Microscopy (U-ExM). Their collaborative work continues to shed light on fundamental cellular processes with implications for developmental biology and disease research.
