Presentation
I am an immunopharmacologist (PhD) and senior research scientist at the INRAE (Tours). My research focuses on identifying and characterizing mediators of inflammation and the role of the intestinal microbiota in the chicken innate immune response to influenza virus along the “gut-lung axis”. Host’s effector mechanisms necessary to deal with infection are not necessarily the same that will exacerbate inflammation and drive disease. I thus aim to provide solid rationale on how mediators of inflammation and metabolites produced by the gut microbiota regulates immune functions at mucosal sites, therefore contributing to optimal viral clearance or to unwanted inflammation.
