Leslie B. Vosshall is one of the most popular and richest Neuroscientist who was born on July 5, 1965 in Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland.
Vosshall received her B.A. in Biochemistry from Columbia University in 1987 and her Ph.D. from Rockefeller University in 1993. She then returned to Columbia for a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of future Nobel laureate Richard Axel from 1993-1997. She then worked in the position of Associate Research Scientist in Dr. Axel’s laboratory from 1997-2000. Vosshall was offered the position of Assistant Professor at The Rockefeller University in 2000, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2006. In April 2010, she was granted tenure and is currently the Robin Chemers Neustein Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior. She served as Associate Director of the Kavli Neural Systems Institute from 2015-2016 and was promoted to Director in 2016.
The Vosshall Lab uses three model organisms: fruit flies, mosquitoes and humans to understand how the nervous system processes and perceives odors. In addition, the Vosshall Lab studies the genetic basis of mosquitoes’ host- seeking and blood-feeding behaviors. Research from Vosshall’s lab demonstrated that a chemical transferred from the male of the species during sex plays a key role in shaping the female’s sexual proclivities. The Vosshall lab discovered that the domestic form of the mosquito Aedes aegypti has increased attraction to humans, due to higher expression of odorant receptor AaegOr4. In addition, work from the Vosshall lab led to the discovery that ORCO, a mosquito co-receptor, is responsible for their attraction to humans and their sensitivity to the insect repellent DEET.
