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

I received my PhD from Sapienza-University of Rome (Italy) in 2014. I investigated the regulation of HLA-E molecule expression during the monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation process as well as their role in the crosstalk between mononuclear phagocytes and Natural Killer cells. I also participated in a project whose main objective was to study the expression and role of ADAR enzymes in human myeloid leukemia cells. I then joined the Immunology of Fungal Infection unit at the Pasteur Institute as a Postdoctoral researcher in December 2015 where I’m studying the b–glucans immunobiology. My research interests focus, in particular, on deciphering the b–glucan-mediated modulation of mononuclear phagocyte functions and of innate immune responses. These natural compounds have recently gained significant attention in the biomedical field for their antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer activities. A better understanding of their immunomodulating properties is, therefore, essential to make them potential candidates as therapeutic agents.

β-glucan imprinting of macrophages

Jessica Quintin (PI)

The enhanced responsiveness observed in human monocytes and mediated by β‑glucan priming is directed towards several other pathogens that are not obligatory fungal-related. This enhanced responsiveness coined training is translated by increased pro-inflammatory cytokines […]

β-glucan regulation of innate host defence

Jessica Quintin (PI)

β-glucan, the most abundant fungal cell wall polysaccharide in C. albicans, has gained much attention from the scientific community in the last few decades for its fascinating but not yet fully understood immunobiology. Study […]
