Morris University Professor and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University. Her work explores the molecular biology of pheromone detection and signaling in mammals, the neural mechanisms underlying age-, species-, and sex-specific behaviors, and the role of genomic imprinting in the developing and adult brain.</p> <p>Dulac grew up in Montpellier, France. She graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure and in 1991 received her PhD from the University of Paris VI. She was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University and joined Harvard University as a junior faculty member in 1996 before becoming a professor of molecular and cellular biology in 2001. She also served as the chair of Harvard’s Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology from 2007 until 2013.</p> <p>She is a biologist who has made crucial contributions to the molecular and functional identification of neural circuits underlying instinctive social behaviors in mice, and to the study of genomic imprinting in the adult and developing brain. Dulac and her team have helped decipher the unique characteristics of social recognition, including the sensory cues that trigger distinct social behaviors, the nature and identity of social behavior circuits in males and females, and how they are modulated by the animal physiological status. In recent work, her laboratory has uncovered how brain circuits control parenting behavior in both males and females, and how different parts of the brain participate in the positive and negative controls of parental care.</p> <p>Dulas is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She is a member of the French Academy of Sciences and a Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur.</p> <p>She is also recipient of numerous awards, including the Richard Lounsbery Award, the Karl Spencer Lashley Award, and the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences. Dulac is a member of multiple scientific advisory boards in the United States and abroad, and recently served as the co-chair of the National Institutes of Health Advisory Committee to the NIH Director BRAIN Initiative Working Group 2.0.</p> <h2>Previous lectureship honorees</h2> <ul> <li>2023 – Bryan L.

He also worked in the laboratory of Marshall Nirenberg, PhD, where he contributed to the Nobel Prize-winning studies that deciphered the genetic code.</p> <p>Thereafter, Barondes devoted himself to integrating psychiatry with molecular biology and neuroscience. He has been a professor at the University of California since 1969, first at UC San Diego, where he was a founding member of the Department of Psychiatry and the Neuroscience Program, and since 1986 at UC San Francisco, where he initially served as chair of the Department of Psychiatry and director of the Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute. Since 1994, he has served as the Jeanne and Sanford Robertson Endowed Chair and director of the Center for Neurobiology and Psychiatry. Throughout his time at UCSF, Barondes has chaired the Chancellor’s Art Committee, overseeing the acquisition and commissioning of hundreds of works, with special emphasis on the J. Michael Bishop Collection at Mission Bay.</p> <p>Barondes is a member of the National Academy of Medicine, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
