Prof. Isabelle Mansuy is Professor of Neuroepigenetics at the University of Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich). She is internationally recognised for her pioneering research on the epigenetic mechanisms of inheritance, particularly how life experiences, such as trauma or stress, can influence brain function and behaviour across generations.

Her work combines molecular biology, neuroscience, and behavioural studies, and has had major impact in the fields of neurodevelopment, memory, and transgenerational inheritance. Prof. Mansuy's research has helped uncover how environmental factors can induce stable epigenetic changes in the germline that affect offspring brain development and mental health.

She is a member of the European Academy of Sciences, the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, and the Academia Europaea, among others. She has received numerous awards for her research, and she regularly contributes to science outreach, ethics debates, and international advisory panels in neuroscience and mental health.

Prof. Isabelle Mansuy has served as Officer of the Medicine and Life Sciences Division across two mandates: March 2018 – February 2021, extended until April 2024 due to the COVID-19 pandemic; May 2025 – April 2028 (current and second consecutive term, in accordance with the EurASc Bylaws).
