Frederic Rousseau

Frederic Rousseau is a Belgian molecular biologist and researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Brussels, Belgium). Together with Joost Schymkowitz he is group leader at the VIB Switch Laboratory, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. His research interest is on essential cellular processes where functional regulation is governed by protein conformational switches that have to be actively controlled to ensure cell viability^[1]

He obtained a PhD at the University of Cambridge (Cambridge, United Kingdom) in 2001. He did a post-doctorate work at the EMBL in Heidelberg Germany from 2001 until 2003. Rousseau is a VIB Group leader since 2003.
