Nous venons d’apprendre avec une immense tristesse le d\u00e9c\u00e8s de Pierre Capy, survenu le 3 f\u00e9vrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pierre \u00e9tait un g\u00e9n\u00e9ticien, sp\u00e9cialiste de la drosophile et de l’\u00e9volution du g\u00e9nome. Ses recherches portaient sur la g\u00e9n\u00e9tique mol\u00e9culaire des \u00e9l\u00e9ments transposables, leur dynamique \u00e9volutive, et leurs transferts horizontaux. Pierre d\u00e9buta sa carri\u00e8re \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Paris Sud, o\u00f9 il obtint un doctorat en 1982. Il rejoignit ensuite le CNRS comme attach\u00e9 de recherche. En 1987, il soutint une th\u00e8se d\u2019\u00c9tat sur la variabilit\u00e9 g\u00e9n\u00e9tique des populations naturelles de Drosophiles, sous la direction de Jean R. David, avant d’effectuer un postdoctorat aux \u00c9tats-Unis dans le laboratoire de Dan Hartl, o\u00f9 il \u00e9tudia l’\u00e9volution mol\u00e9culaire des \u00e9l\u00e9ments transposables, une th\u00e9matique sur laquelle il fonda une \u00e9quipe de recherche \u00e0 son retour en France. Il devint professeur \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Paris-Sud (Paris-Saclay) en 2001, o\u00f9 il enseigna la biologie \u00e9volutive et la g\u00e9nomique des \u00e9l\u00e9ments transposables. Son h\u00e9ritage scientifique est remarquable, il signa plus d’une centaine d’articles dans les meilleures revues du domaine, il encadra onze doctorants, et fut un acteur majeur dans l’essor de la g\u00e9n\u00e9tique des \u00e9l\u00e9ments transposables en France. Il \u00e9tait \u00e9galement tr\u00e8s impliqu\u00e9 dans l’administration de la vie scientifique \u00e0 l’\u00e9chelle locale et nationale ; il a \u00e9t\u00e9 responsable du GDR \u00ab \u00e9l\u00e9ments transposables \u00bb, pr\u00e9sident de la section 29 du comit\u00e9 national du CNRS, pr\u00e9sident du d\u00e9partement de biologie \u00e0 l’Universit\u00e9, et directeur de l’\u00e9cole doctorale SDSV. Il fut \u00e9galement directeur du laboratoire LEGS (actuel EGCE), et un des fondateurs en 2016 de l’institut Diversit\u00e9, \u00c9cologie et \u00c9volution du Vivant (IDEEV). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
