    Career Summary

    After completing a training as a clinician-researcher in pediatric immunology and hematology, I was head of the laboratory of cell and gene therapy at the Necker-Enfants Malades hospital from 2012 to 2016. Within this laboratory, I led gene therapy trials of hematopoietic stem cells for the treatment of primary immune deficiencies, hemoglobin disorders and HIV infection from fundamental aspect to clinical delivery.

    My research laboratory at the CHU Sainte-Justine research center is interested in:

    • Modifications of hematopoietic stem cells by gene edition for the development of novel therapiesx for hereditary and acquired diseases of the hematopoietic system.
    • Pathophysiology of inflammatory manifestations associated with hereditary immune deficits: elucidating the mechanisms linking inflammation and immunodeficiency
