Martine Jandrot-Perrus obtained her medical degree in 1977 (University Paris 5) and turned towards medical research. After completing her training in Biochemistry/Enzymology (University Paris Sud), she joined INSERM (the French National Institute on Health and Medical Research) in 1982. She was at the head of the team Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Thrombosis from 2003 to 2013. She is now Emeritus Research Director at the Laboratory for Vascular Translational Science (INSERM/University of Paris, Bichat hospital). Her work on haemostasis and thrombosis, and her expertise on platelets and in particular on glycoprotein VI are internationally recognized. Her most notable contributions in this field include the cloning of GPVI, the first description of a subject with a congenital deficit, the identification of new ligands of GPVI and the characterization of its role in the formation of thromboses. She obtained and characterized the antithrombotic properties of the anti-GPVI monoclonal antibody 9O12, precursor of glenzocimab. Author of 11 patents and 166 publications in international journals (h index 35) she received several awards from the Bettencourt-Schueller Foundation (Coup d’Elan 2002), SGAM-ASSET Foundation (Therapeutic Innovation 2007), French Academy of Sciences (2007) and the Esteemed Career Award from the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis in 2019. Since the foundation of Acticor Biotech, she is actively involved in its development as scientific expert.
