Biography

Marion Boudes is a structural biologist specializing in cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), X-ray crystallography, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and protein biochemistry. Her current research focuses on utilizing cryo-EM to elucidate the structure and dynamics of large protein complexes involved in genome regulation. Boudes completed her PhD in Structural Biology at the University Paris-Sud from 2008 to 2011, where she studied key activators of transcription in bacterial pathogens. Afterward, she joined the Structural Virology Laboratory at Monash University under the supervision of Associate Professor Fasséli Coulibaly, where she specialized in X-ray microcrystallography and developed innovative methods in cellulo crystallography. In 2017, Boudes joined the laboratory of Dr. Dominika Elmlund and Dr. Hans Elmlund, internationally recognized experts in single-particle cryo-electron microscopy. During this time, she acquired significant skills in cryo-EM and transcription biochemistry, and designed original methods for sample stabilization. Boudes was awarded a Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2019 at the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing & Health Sciences (FMNHS). Her expertise aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in contributing to global efforts to end poverty and protect the planet.
