Pierre Magistretti

Magistretti studied medicine at University of Geneva, and received his diploma in 1977 and his medical doctor degree in 1979 for his thesis on Etude de la liaison spécifique du ³H-spiropéridol dans la fraction membranaire de la rétine de mammifère supervised by Michel Schorderet.{{Cite web|title=Etude de la liaison spécifique du ³H-spiropéridol dans la fraction membranaire de la rétine de mammifère : son intérêt pour l'évaluation de l'affinité dopaminergique des substances psychotropes|url=https://slsp-unige.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?&context=L&vid=41SLSP_UGE:VU1&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&tab=41SLSP_UGE_MyInst_CI&docid=alma991003299149705502|access-date=2021-04-12|website=slsp-unige.primo.exlibrisgroup.com|language=en}} He then joined Floyd E. Bloom's A.V. Davis Center for Behavioral Neurobiology Laboratory at Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla and enrolled in a graduate program for neuroscience at the University of California, San Diego. In 1982, he received his PhD for a thesis on Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide: A Regulator of Cellular Homeostasis in Cerebral Cortex co-supervised by William Shoemaker.{{Cite thesis|title=Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide: a regulator of cellular homeostasis in cerebral cortex|url=http://roger.ucsd.edu/record=b1963213~S9|date=1982|first=Pierre Julius|last=Magistretti}} Until 1987 he was Maître Assistant (postdoctoral researcher) at University of Geneva's department of pharmacology and worked on the synergistic interactions between vasoactive intestinal peptide and norepinephrine in forming cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).{{Cite journal|date=1985-01-01|title=VIP neurons in the neocortex|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0166223685900050|journal=Trends in Neurosciences|language=en|volume=8|pages=7–8|doi=10.1016/0166-2236(85)90005-0|issn=0166-2236|last1=Magistretti|first1=Pierre J.|last2=Morrison|first2=John H.|s2cid=53177354|url-access=subscription}}{{Cite journal|last1=Schaad|first1=Nicolas C.|last2=Schorderet|first2=Michel|last3=Magistretti|first3=Pierre J.|date=August 1987|title=Prostaglandins and the synergism between VIP and noradrenaline in the cerebral cortex|url=https://www.nature.com/articles/328637a0|journal=Nature|language=en|volume=328|issue=6131|pages=637–640|doi=10.1038/328637a0|pmid=3039374|bibcode=1987Natur.328..637S|s2cid=4332351|issn=1476-4687|url-access=subscription}}

In 1988, he became professor at the University of Lausanne's department of physiology, whose chairman he was from 2001 to 2004. From 2004 to 2012 he was the founding director of the Center for Psychiatric Neuroscience at the University of Lausanne.

In 2005, he became professor and co-director of EPFL's Brain Mind Institute, whose sole director he became in 2008. From 2010 to 2016 he acted as director of the Swiss National Center for Competence SynaPsy.{{Cite web|title=Pierre Magistretti {{!}} NCCR-Synapsy|url=https://nccr-synapsy.ch/news/tag/pierre-magistretti/|access-date=2021-04-12|language=en-US}} Since 2012, he has been distinguished professor and from 2012 to 2020 dean of the department of Biological, Environmental Sciences and Engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.

He was given emeritus status at EPFL in 2017, University of Geneva in 2017, and University of Lausanne in 2018.{{Cite web|date=2017-12-17|title=Pierre J.
