About LABEXPIMM
The Laboratory of Experimental Immunology is a leading research facility focused on understanding the complex mechanisms that govern the immune system. Our work is driven by a commitment to unraveling the intricate processes that protect the body from infections, control inflammation, and maintain overall health. We investigate the interplay between different components of the immune system, aiming to discover how these elements can be modulated to prevent or treat diseases.
One of our core strengths is our interdisciplinary approach, which brings together expertise from various scientific fields to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in immunology today. We collaborate closely with clinicians to ensure that our research is not only scientifically rigorous but also clinically relevant, aiming to bridge the gap between basic research and patient care.
Education and mentorship are also central to our mission. We are committed to training the next generation of immunologists by providing a supportive environment where young scientists can develop their skills and pursue their research interests. Through seminars, workshops, and hands-on training, we equip our students and early-career researchers with the knowledge and experience needed to excel in the field of immunology.
As part of the Institute of Microbiology and the global Pasteur Network, we are uniquely positioned to contribute to both national and international efforts in immunological research. Our work has a direct impact on public health, contributing to the development of new diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutic strategies that can improve lives worldwide.
