  • Dame Amanda Gay Fisher DBE FRS FMedSci is a British cell biologist and Director of the Medical Research Council (MRC) London Institute of Medical Sciences at the Hammersmith Hospital campus of Imperial College London, where she is also a Professor leading the Institute of Clinical Sciences. She has made contributions to multiple areas of cell biology, including determining the function of several genes in HIV and describing the importance of a gene's location within the cell nucleus. As a postdoctoral researcher, she produced the first functional copies of HIV, providing researchers with access to enough biologically active material to study the function of the virus's genes. She later became interested in epigenetics and nuclear reprogramming, particularly in white blood cells known as lymphocytes and embryonic stem cells. As of 2016 her research focuses on how gene expression patterns are inherited when cells divide, using lymphocytes as a model system. (en)
  • Amanda Gay Fisher est une biologiste cellulaire britannique. Elle est professeure à l'Imperial College London où elle gère l’institut de sciences cliniques. Elle a travaillé dans de multiples domaines de la biologie cellulaire, notamment en déterminant le rôle de plusieurs gènes du VIH. Elle a également décrit l'importance de l'emplacement d'un gène dans le noyau de la cellule. Durant ses recherches postdoctorales, elle a produit les premières copies fonctionnelles du VIH, ce qui a donné des matériaux biologiques aux chercheurs pour étudier les fonctions des gènes du virus. Elle s'est ensuite intéressée à la Reprogrammation épigénétique des lymphocytes et des cellules souches embryonnaires. Ses recherches actuelles visent à déterminer la part d'hérédité de l'expression des gènes lors de la division cellulaire, elle utilise pour cela les lymphocytes comme système modèle. (fr)
