Short bio
Graduated from the École Normale Supérieure of Lyon, I specialized in Chemical Biology in the labs of Prof. Kai Johnsson at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, and Prof. Jason Chin at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge UK. After starting my independent career as Assistant Professor at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, I joined Sorbonne University in Paris as Full Professor in Chemistry. My lab aims at developing Chemical Biology tools to push the frontiers of biological imaging.

Research interests
Cells and organisms are complex machines driven by a set of dynamic biological events tightly orchestrated in space and time. Our understanding of their inner workings is intricately related to our ability to observe how their constituents organize and interact. Despite spectacular developments in biological imaging and probe design, many biologically relevant molecules and processes remain invisible. Arnaud Gautier is interested in inventing new tools for observing biomolecules and dynamic biochemical events in live cells and tissues. These tools can allow biologists to address questions ranging from fundamental mechanisms to the causes of disease and the development of novel therapeutics.

Here, we report a collection of fluorogens enabling tuning of the fluorescence color of FAST from green-yellow to orange and red. Beyond allowing the multicolor imaging of FAST-tagged proteins in live cells, these fluorogens enable dynamic color switching because of FAST's reversible labeling. This unprecedented behavior allows for selective detection of FAST-tagged proteins in cells expressing both green and red fluorescent species through two-color cross-correlation, opening up exciting prospects to overcome spectral crowding and push the frontiers of multiplexed imaging. © 2017 The Royal Society of Chemistry.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } Yellow Fluorescence-Activating and absorption-Shifting Tag (Y-FAST, hereafter called FAST) is a 14 kDa protein tag giving a bright green-yellow fluorescent complex upon interaction with the fluorogenic dye 4-hydroxy-3-methylbenzylidene rhodanine (HMBR).
