Team presentation
Our objective is to better understand the interplay between the cytokines of the IL-17 axis and other components involved in tissue remodelling in inflammatory (COPD), autoimmune (Bullous pemphigoid, scleroderma) diseases progression and in breast cancer outcome. The final aim is to translate this coordinated research between each sub-group into novel therapeutic proposals.
Members
16 professors/associate professors/clinicians/research fellows, 4 technical fellows (2 from URCA), 1 Post-doctoral Fellow and 7 PhD students
Key words
Immune regulation, Cytokines, Bullous Pemphigoid, Scléroderma, COPD, breast cancer
Research topics
Influence of the inflammatory response in the immune and non-immune cell response of the host: role of the cytokines associated with the IL-17 pathway.
Know-how
- Translational research in connection with the Rare Diseases Reference Centre " Autoimmune Bullous Diseases" located in the Dermatology Department of the Reims University Hospital, the Pathology laboratory of the Jean Godinot Institute and the Department of Respiratory Diseases of the CHU R Debré.
