CRCHUM (Montreal)
- Research Fellow (Post-Doctoral fellowship)
2013 - 2015I am still working on the same research project started at the Ragon Institute one year ago (My supervisor moved his laboratory to Montreal)
Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard (Boston)
- Research Fellow (Post-Doctoral fellowship)
2012 - 2013A major focus of the laboratory research at the Ragon Institute is to study mechanisms leading to impairment of these T cells and to identify ways to reverse these defects in order to elicit effective immunity against HIV. It has been known for a long time that the dysfunction of CD4 T cells, a subset of T lymphocytes that plays a critical role in orchestrating the functions of several arms of the immune system.
The aim of my postdoctoral fellowship project is to understand the negative impact that the CD4 T cells that do not work properly have on other immune cells. Studies of cellular functions and gene expression profiles using cutting-edge technologies will be combined in order to achieve this goal. This project is relevant both for our understanding of HIV pathogenesis and for the identification of promising targets to complement antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected patients or to boost preventive or therapeutic vaccines.
