Marie Duranteau

Marie joined us in 2017 and is an analyst with the Capital team focusing on the biopharmaceutical sector.

Marie holds a Ph.D. in cellular biology from Paris Diderot University, carried out at the Jacques Monod Institute, where she studied the spindle assembly checkpoint during cell division. 

To round out her scientific background, she obtained a master’s in Entrepreneurship from HEC Business School, Polytechnique and Paris Descartes University, where she worked beside researchers from the Institut Imagine to translate their innovative technologies into companies.

Marie chose a career in venture capital “because I enjoy interacting with entrepreneurs, seeing their passion and the way they are able to convey their ideas and generate excitement within the investment team.” One of the things she likes most about Sofinnova Partners is its diversity: “We all see an investment from different perspectives and that is our strength as a team.”
