Jean-François was born and educated in south Charente which is for simplicity just in-between Bordeaux and Cognac. He studied for his PhD in Dr. Jean-Paul Javerzat Lab at Bordeaux University establishing the role of constitutive heterochromatin for sister chromatid cohesion at centromeres.

Postdoctoral work allowed him to carry out the characterization of the role of Mps1 kinase and kinetochore components in sister- centromeres bi-orientation establishment in Pr. Tomoyuky Tanaka (Dundee University, 2004-2009).

He joined the lab in 2010, in order to identify the role of protein associated to Ubiquitin/ SUMO pathway in genome maintenance after DNA damage.
