Beatrice Jacquelin joined Michaela Müller-Trutwin’s group at Institut Pasteur as a research engineer in 2004. Throughout the years of her graduate (1998-2001) and postdoctoral (2002-2004) training that she performed at The Scripps Research Institute (USA), at the UMR 5533 CNRS (Bordeaux) and at the Genopole of Evry (CEA), she developed a strong scientific research experience in gene regulation that she applied in the field of hemostasis and hematopoiesis. A good way to get new insights in gene regulations is to study them in pathologic situations. She therefore started to study the mechanisms responsible for aberrant T cell activation leading to AIDS using the SIV-infection models at Institut Pasteur. The focus of her work is now on factors of either susceptibility to SIV-induced inflammation or factors that allow the control of this inflammation. Their identification might deliver the missing key elements for the understanding of how HIV induces AIDS and also novel targets for anti-inflammatory therapies in HIV-infected patients. In parallel, Beatrice is also involved in the Ebola task force program (Pierre Lafaye’s Work Package) to develop an easy-to-use, cheap, fast, accessible and easily disposable test for on-the-field, point-of-care diagnostics.
