Sonia Garel (born March 1, 1972) is a French immunologist who is a professor of neurobiology at the Collège de France. She was appointed to the Ordre national du Mérite in 2016 and won the 2020 Prize of the NRJ- Institut de France Foundation.

Early life and education

Garel was born in Paris. She studied engineering at the AgroParisTech as an undergraduate.[1] She moved to the Paris-Sorbonne University for graduate research, where she specialised in molecular and cellular neurobiology. Her doctoral research considered developmental biology. She moved to the University of California, San Francisco as a postdoctoral researcher with John Rubenstein.[2] In 2003, she returned to France as an Inserm Research Officer.[3]

Research and career

In 2008, Garel joined the Institut of Biology of the Ecole Normale Superieure.[4][5] She was made professor at the Collège de France in 2020.[6][7] She was elected to the Scientific Council of the City of Paris in 2021.[8]

Garel's research looks to understand the assembly of neural circuitry during embryogenesis.[9][10] She focuses on the interactions between microglia,[11] the macrophages of the central nervous system,[12] and the molecular mechanisms that underpin the assembly of neurons. Her research identified that how microglia develop in germ free mice depends on the sex of the mice,[11] which Garel thinks might explain why boys were four times as likely to be diagnosed with autism.[11]
