Caroline Demangel trained in the National Institute of Agronomy Paris-Grignon (AgroParisTech). After a PhD in Biotechnology in the Bertin company (Plaisir, France), she opted for a career in academic research. She did a post-doc in the Centenary Institute (Sydney, Australia), designing and testing anti-tuberculous vaccines that target dendritic cells in Warwick Britton’s Lab. Back in Paris in 2002, she joined the team of Stewart Cole at the Institut Pasteur to develop novel approaches to mycobacterial disease diagnosis and treatment, with a particular focus on Leprosy and Buruli ulcer disease. Since 2011, she’s been directing the “Immunobiology and Infection” Unit in the Immunology Department of the Pasteur Institute. Her team studies the mechanisms by which pathogenic mycobacteria establish chronic infections in humans, in particular the bacterial virulence factors interfering with host immunity. The aim of these studies is to find innovative approaches to better treat mycobacterial infections, and identify novel natural compounds with immunomodulatory potential.
