LOQUET Antoine

Antoine Loquet graduated from the University of Lyon / Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon. He did his PhD (2006-2009) under the guidance of Anja Böckmann (IBCP Lyon), working on the development of Solid-State NMR to solve protein structures. In 2008 he joined the group of Beat Meier (ETH Zürich) to study prion fibrils by Solid-State NMR. He then focused his research on molecular assemblies by Solid-State NMR as an EMBO postdoctoral fellow with Adam Lange at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (Göttingen, Germany). There, he developed Solid-State NMR methods to determine atomic structures of large biological supramolecular assemblies.

He obtained a CNRS position in 2013 at the CBMN (Institute of Chemistry & Biology of Membranes & Nanoobjects) in Bordeaux and obtained a Research Director position in 2020. In 2014, he was recruited as a group leader at the IECB and since 2016, he is leading the group « NMR of Membranes and Protein Assemblies » at CBMN. Deputy Director of IECB (2021-2023). Director of the Unit UAR3033/US01 IECB since Sep. 2024.
