Biography
Dr. Emmanuelle Reboul received an Engineer diploma in Nutrition and Food Sciences from AgroSup Dijon, France in 2002. During her PhD at the INSERM laboratory Human Nutrition and Lipids in Marseille, she studied carotenoid, vitamin A and E intestinal absorption. She then joined the working group of Dr. R.S. Molday in 2006 at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada to work on ATP transporter molecular functioning.
She returned to Marseille, France at the end of 2008 to join the Nutrition, Obesity, and Risk of Thrombosis laboratory as a permanent INRA Researcher; she currently focuses on fat-soluble micronutrient intestinal absorption and membrane transport. Her group was first to discover a fat-soluble micronutrient membrane transporter at the intestinal level, and still has a leading position on this topic.
She has received several awards for her work, including the doctoral award of the French Lipidomic Group (2007), the Prize of the French Academia of Medicine (2007), the PepsiCo International Travel Prize (2009), and the Research Prizes of the French Nutrition Society (2010 and 2015).
