Alexis Jourdain earned his PhD in 2013 at the University of Geneva for work on mitochondrial gene expression and mitochondrial RNA granules under Prof. Jean-Claude Martinou, supported by a Roche Research Foundation fellowship. In 2015, he joined Prof. Vamsi Mootha’s lab at the Broad Institute, Harvard Medical School, and Massachusetts General Hospital. As an EMBO and Swiss National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow, he used systems biology to identify nuclear genes involved in energy metabolism, including mitochondrial subunits and pre-mRNA splicing factors. In 2021, he became a tenure-track assistant professor at the University of Lausanne’s Department of Immunobiology. In 2026, he was named an EMBO Young Investigator.
