Keynote Speaker
Prof. Sebastian Amigorena, PhD
Research Director, Immunity & Cancer, Institut Curie, Paris, France
Member, French Academy of Science
Dr Sebastian Amigorena is Research Director at CNRS and Director of the INSERM “Immunity and Cancer” Unit (U932) at the Institut Curie in Paris.
An internationally recognised leader in immunology and immuno-oncology, Dr. Amigorena received his PhD in biochemistry and immunology from the University of Paris VII and completed postdoctoral training at Yale University. His research focuses on understanding how the immune system recognises and responds to tumours and translating these insights into cancer immunotherapies.
His work has led to landmark discoveries, including the role of inhibitory IgG receptors and the mechanisms of antigen cross-presentation by dendritic cells. More recently, his laboratory investigates the epigenetic programming of T-cell memory and the role of transposable elements in anti-tumour immunity.
Dr Amigorena has authored over 200 scientific publications and is a member of the French Academy of Sciences.
It is a pleasure to host Dr Amigorena for his presentation:
“Cryptic splicing and tumour immunity.”
