Griseofulvin, an antifungic metabolite produced by several species of Penicillium [ 1 ] , is widely used in human and animal therapy [2]. Its mechanism of action remained puzzling for along time [3]. Recently it has been shown that griseofulvin inhibits the polymerization of purified brain tubulin [4,5]. Although this property may account for its in vivo effects, this result does not allow to r...

We study differential-geometrical structure of an information manifold equipped with a divergence function.A divergence function generates a Riemannian metric and furthermore it provides a symmetric third-order tensor,when the divergence is asymmetric. This induces a pair of affine connections dually coupled to each other withrespect to the Riemannian metric. This is the arising eme...

We introduce a new class of noncommutative rings-Galois orders, realized as certain subrings of invariants in skew semigroup rings, and develop their structure theory. The class of Galois orders generalizes classical orders in noncommutative rings and contains many classical objects, such as the Generalized Weyl algebras, the universal enveloping algebra of the general linear Lie algebra, assoc...

Michel Labouesse

Michel Labouesse grew up near Paris. He studied maths and physics for a degree in engineering, but subsequently embraced a career in biology. He learned genetics during his PhD with Piotr Slonimski in Gif/Yvette, where he analysed how the nuclear genome controls expression of mitochondrial genes in yeast. He then went on to learn developmental biology of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a...
