A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

About

Caroline Demangel, born in 1966, studied biology at the National Institute of Agronomy Paris-Grignon (AgroParisTech) and earned her PhD in Biotechnology in 1992. She worked as a postdoctoral fellow on antibody engineering at Institut Pasteur, where she was offered an Assistant Member position in 1996. In 1998, she moved to the Centenary Institute in Sydney to design and test Tuberculous subunit vaccines targeting dendritic cells. She returned to Institut Pasteur in 2002 as an Assistant Professor with the goal of developing novel approaches to diagnosis and prevention of neglected mycobacterial diseases, particularly Buruli ulcer and Leprosy. She was promoted to Associate Professor in 2008. Since 2011, she’s been directing the “Immunobiology and Infection” Unit in the Immunology Department. Her current work is focused on the strategies evolved by mycobacterial pathogens to suppress immunity, in particular those targeting host immune cell metabolism.

Host fatty acids and immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Caroline Demangel (PI)

While the special relationship between Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and host lipids has long been known, it remains a challenging enigma. It was clearly established that Mtb requires host fatty acids (FAs) and cholesterol to […]

Deciphering the causes of Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Caroline Demangel (PI)

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), also known as Verneuil’s disease and acne inversa, is an incurable skin disease manifesting as recurrent, invalidating abscesses. In addition to causing intense pain, HS is commonly associated with disability, depression […]

Therapeutic potential of mycolactone and synthetic surrogates

Caroline Demangel (PI)

Whether released by bacteria infecting the skin or injected via the subcutaneous route, mycolactone was found to diffuse into the leukocytes of peripheral blood and lymphoid organs. With this distribution profile, the unique effects […]

Immunity against Mycobacterium ulcerans : the subversive role of mycolactone

Caroline Demangel (PI)

Mycobacterium ulcerans causes Buruli ulcer, a neglected tropical skin disease manifesting as chronic wounds that can leave victims with major, life-long deformity and disability. Differently from other mycobacteria, including the related M. tuberculosis and […]

Biomarkers of Buruli ulcer disease

Caroline Demangel (PI)

Buruli ulcer is the third most common mycobacterial disease after Tuberculosis and Leprosy. It is a chronic, necrotizing disease of the skin and soft tissues that is reported in over thirty tropical and subtropical […]

Mycobacterial phenolic glycolipids and innate host defenses

Caroline Demangel (PI)

Across different species of mycobacteria, phenolic glycolipids (PGL) share a common lipid core and phenol ring that are embedded in the cell envelope, and differ in the saccharidic portion that is exposed on the […]

Mycolactone of Mycobacterium ulcerans and the actin cytoskeleton

Caroline Demangel (PI)

A distinctive feature of the human pathogen Mycobacterium ulcerans is the production of mycolactone. This original polyketide-derived macrolide is essential for bacterial virulence and sufficient to induce ulcerative lesions in the skin that are […]
