Luc Henry was a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, and a visiting researcher at the University of Ulm, Germany. After earning BSc and MSc degrees in biological chemistry at the EPFL, he worked as a research assistant in the cell biology laboratory of Gisou van der Goot and then embarked on a long trip, cycling from Europe to China across the Middle East and Central Asia. He subsequently earned a DPhil degree in chemical biology from the University of Oxford, working in the laboratory of Christopher J. Schofield. While completing his degree in Oxford, he held a short term postdoctoral position in cancer immunology at the University of Lausanne, working on the role of bone marrow-derived cells in breast cancer development. He is now a scientific advisor to the President of EPFL.
