After studying physics and biochemistry and gaining a PhD degree at the University of Orsay/Paris, Jean entered the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique in 1969, where he worked for 35 years as a virologist. Jean devoted almost his entire professional career to the study of the structure and molecular biology of rotaviruses, a major cause of infantile gastroenteritis in humans and of diarrhea in the young of a large variety of animals. Jean is rightly regarded by many as the father of the molecular biology of rotaviruses. He published/co-published the results of his work in over 100 scientific papers. His achievements were many: the discovery of the transcriptase activity of rotavirus subviral particles in vitro, description of the rotavirus genome from the early days of cloning and sequencing onwards, studies of molecular mechanisms of viral replication including functions of virus-coded nonstructural proteins and contribution to the elucidation of the atomic structure of VP6. He explored the virus-like particles produced by recombinant baculoviruses in various ways, and
