Biosketch

Vincent Goffin is a prominent figure in the field of molecular endocrinology. He completed his education at the University of Liège (Belgium) in 1993 and embarked on a successful research career. After his doctoral studies, he pursued post-doctoral training at Inserm U344 in Paris, where he gained invaluable experience with a Marie-Curie fellowship.
In 1996, he joined Inserm as a tenure researcher and has been leading his research lab since 2006. His work has focused on the prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) protein family, with significant contributions in oncology and the development of PRL receptor inhibitors.
Vincent Goffin's impact extends to his role as the founder of the FASEB Science Research Conference "The GH/PRL Family in Biology & Diseases." He's also served as consultant for companies developing PRL/GH-related compounds and held editorial positions in peer-reviewed journals in onco-endocrinology.
His recent research has shed light on prostate pathophysiology, particularly the discovery of castration-resistant luminal progenitor cells with implications for benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer relapse. Vincent Goffin's career has significantly advanced our understanding of molecular endocrinology, making him a leading figure in the field.
