Abdou Rachid Thiam is a Senegalese biophysicist and research director at the French National Centre for Scientific Research and Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, France (UMR 8023), where he studies physical mechanisms regulating the dynamics of lipid droplets in cells and in vitro.
He was the recipient of a CNRS Bronze medal in 2020.
Thiam received a Bachelor of Science from ESPCI Paris before conducting his doctoral research at Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris on the study of the stability of emulsions using microfluidics. After his PhD, he moved to Yale University in 2012 under a Marie Curie fellowship to conduct postdoctoral research in the team of Nobel prize Laureate James E. Rothman, before starting his research group at CNRS in 2014.
