Marie-Veronique CLEMENT |
Dr. Marie-Veronique Clement obtained her basic degree in Cellular Biology (B.Sc) with major in Immunology from Paris-6 University, Paris, France in 1986. She pursued her interest in Immunology during her M.Sc (1987) and PhD (1991) at the Pasteur Institute and Paris-6 University, Paris, France. Following her doctoral studies, she proceeded to the United States (1992-1996) as a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Pathology at Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA. It was during her post-doctoral training that she made the significant observation that, contrary to the common belief; an increase in intracellular level of superoxide could inhibit death receptor-induced apoptotic signaling (Clement and Stamenkovic, 1996). She joined the National University Medical Institute, National University of Singapore in 1997 as a Research Associate, was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry, NUS in 2001 and is currently a tenured Associate Professor in the Dept. of Biochemistry and an Assistant Dean Education (Student affairs) at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. As an independent PI, her group dispelled the dogmatic view of reactive oxygen species as only toxic molecules by providing evidence for their involvement in cell survival signaling pertinent to carcinogenesis. For this work she was the Recipient of the NUS Outstanding Research Award (team award) 2005. More recently, A/P Clement’s group has made significant progress in the understanding of the pathway involved in the induction of cell survival by superoxide. In particular her group is the first involving the regulation of the Na+/H+ exchanger 1 expression in the redox control of cell survival and cell death. Finally, her most recent contribution is the demonstration that an increase in intracellular level of superoxide contributes to the inhibition of the tumor suppressor PTEN through S-nitrosylation of the protein leading to the activation of the survival kinase Akt and proliferation of cells in absence of growth factor. In addition, over these past 6 years as an Assistant Dean working with the student affairs team, A/P Clement was involved in streamlining policies and procedures pertaining to all matters affecting and involving undergraduate students’ life. She worked hard in establishing a good communication line between the academic faculty and the SA team with the overall objective of doing all that was possible for the welfare and ultimate success of the students at the Yong Loo Lin Medical School. Under the leadership of A/P Clement the SA team established processes where regular feedback are gathered from the academic faculty on the weaker students. In return faculty are kept informed of any support students might need. As the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs Dr Clement sits on all Board of Examiners meetings, and is often in a position to give a non-academic perspective of students’ background and difficulties that may help the academic team to see the student in a more holistic manner. |
